I Have a Safari Park

Meerkat House!

The meerkat itself is very interesting, with a pair of funny dark circles, plus Timon's appearance in the "Lion King" cartoon, it is also a net red animal in the animal world, attracting many tourists to watch.

The area of ​​the venue is not large, after all, the meerkat is small, but the environment is very rich.

The activity field is covered with a thick layer of fine sand, the terrain is rugged and undulating, with dry low trees, and it looks like a desert atmosphere!

In the center of the venue is a towering sand dune - for meerkat, this height is just enough for tourists to look at the meerkat.

You can see some holes in and out of the dunes, not dug by meerkats, but artificial pipes, so that they will not collapse and bury them, so they can hide in.

There are also toy balls and cardboard boxes for the meerkat to explore.

At this time, a meerkat was standing on the top of the dune, standing on tiptoe, with claws tucked into its chest, turning its head left and right, looking around with alert eyes, and sent a whistle to the group.

In other places where the terrain is higher, there are also meerkat guards, looking around, or looking up at the sky, shouting "Cuckoo" loudly.

Meerkats can mate and reproduce all year round. After these meerkats came to the zoo's new environment, they adapted quickly and soon had offspring.

The adult meerkat has a slender body, a pointed triangular head, and bright eyes, revealing a sense of wit. The little meerkat has just been born for about five or six weeks, and its body is short and round, like a Fluffy little kiwi.

"Hey, is Timon you, Timon!"

"Lovely cute!"

"What a little one!"

"These dark circles, stay up all night!"

Fang Ye said: "The dark circles of the meerkats are to reduce the strong sunlight in Africa and help the meerkats to detect predators in the air under the sun.

Their natural enemies on land are jackals and cobras, and their natural enemies in the sky are falcons!

The natural enemies on land can be chased away, roared and danced, and harassed in a roundabout way, while those in the sky can only hide in holes, so meerkat can often be seen looking up at the sky.

They have good eyesight and can spot raptors up to a kilometer away and avoid them in advance. "

The breeder hid some insects in the sand, and the little meerkat scrambled around, looking for food.

The outside world is new to them, and it's fun to use new skills.

Some little meerkats, wanting to show off their newly learned skills to their parents, pulled their tails up at the parents who were on guard, and scratched their two little paws.

However, the parents were busy on guard and ignored the little guy.

Compared with the cubs, the adult meerkat digs a hole faster, two claws fly over, a puff of sand flies back, and a large hole is dug out after a while.

Dig in the sand, find food, be on guard, or soak up the sun!

Some meerkats leaned against each other and groomed each other.

Meerkats are social animals with a strong sense of collectiveness and deep feelings for each other.

At this moment, the meerkat sentry on the top of the dune did not know what they found.

Suddenly a loud and short warning sound resembling a barking dog!

"Ow!"

He turned his head and squeaked again!

This meerkat seemed to have a very high status in the group, and after calling it twice, the other meerkats immediately dispersed.

It's like a student who is truanting from school and playing games in a black Internet cafe, and suddenly heard someone shout "The teacher is here"!

Some meerkats jumped up and hid between the cracks in the stones, exposing the top of their heads, and some hid in the caves in a hurry, or hid in the cardboard boxes nearby.

It is extremely fast to escape, as soon as the foot kicks the sand, the "vinegar slip" splashes a burst of dust and disappears, as if the ninja used the ninjutsu of earth escape!

The adult meerkat reacted very quickly. Some of the little meerkat didn't stay with the big meerkat, looked up at the sentinel, didn't know what was going on, looked quite cute, and found that everyone had disappeared, stunned. After a while, he started looking for a place to hide.

Netizens are stunned!

"Hey, I was shocked, I didn't even react!"

"Haha, the one hidden in the cardboard box is so funny!"

Fang Ye couldn't help laughing: "Watching is the most interesting behavior of meerkat! If you come to the zoo to see meerkat, you can pay more attention.

The sentinel meerkat will climb to the heights and patrol the safety of the area. Once a danger is found, the sentinel will give a loud warning, and other members will quickly drill into the cave or stop activities in the cave.

At the same time, the sentinel will also be the first to come out of the cave to check whether the danger is still there. When the danger is gone, the sentinel stops the warning, and the other members will emerge from the cave.

An adult meerkat can make 30 different calls, each with a special meaning to distinguish between aerial and ground predators, as well as the degree of danger.

Among meerkats, experienced sentinels are more trusted by their companions. If the sentinels are experienced, other meerkats will quickly hide, otherwise they will raise their heads and look around to confirm whether there are really predators! "

After a while, when the sentinel confirmed that there was no danger, he called twice, and the other meerkats slowly came out of the hiding place.

The little meerkat must also follow the parents to learn to watch, and the watch starts from the doll.

They have the feeling of a child pretending to be an adult, and they look very cute.

Sentinel is not an easy job. The little meerkat has just developed its body, and it is very difficult to stand up on both legs to maintain balance. After a while, the legs will become sore.

Fall back to the ground, yawn and take a rest, or lie on top of your companions, play and play, murmur a few times and continue to watch.

The warm sun made the little meerkat even more sleepy.

After more than ten minutes, the little meerkat's eyes gradually narrowed from a state of staring round to a slit.

It slowly became sloppy, but still insisted on guarding, looking very cute.

Cubs sleep for a long time every day, even if they want to work hard, their body will not allow it.

The head gradually drooped down, and with a slap, it hit the ground!

With his head on the ground, he fell asleep.

Netizens couldn't help laughing when they saw this funny scene.

At this time, a breeder came in and put a sweet potato with beans that looked like a porcupine.

"Hey, I watched the documentary, aren't meerkats food insects, they also eat vegetables?"

"This isn't for food, it's for fun, right?"

The meerkats watched this strange porcupine vigilantly and slowly surrounded it.

He raised his tail, arched his back, and shouted loudly "Cuckoo"!

A meerkat attacked first, slapped it with a slap, and slapped two of the beans on its back.

It was a flower stand!

The alert was lifted, and parents continued to patrol.

The little meerkat who had shrunk in the back just now, surrounded by curiosity, bit the sweet potato porcupine, and pulled all the beans from its back.

It's quite interesting, the cubs had a lot of fun, and they also exercised their courage virtually.
