Meerkats (also called suricates) work together in numbers. A few will
typically serve as lookouts, watching the skies for birds of prey, such
as hawks and eagles, that can snatch them from the ground. A sharp,
shrill call is the signal for all to take cover. While a few individuals
guard the group, the rest busy themselves foraging for the foods that
make up their varied diet. Meerkats will eat insects, lizards, birds,
and fruit. When hunting small game, they work together and communicate
with purring sounds. Meerkats are good hunters and are sometimes tamed
for use as rodent-catchers.
