Meerkats…

We used to have a family of these guys near one of our dips (although not this same species…) If the cattle were late arriving to the dip, I would walk down there and sit, ever so still and wait for them to pop their heads up.

They appear to have a lookout guy and they seem to know who is the look out…
A few keep a lookout and the others dig and scrabble in the sand. Im told they eat meat, but also insects and lizards.

I was zoomed in pretty close here…that is one wary look!
