Talk about Teamwork!

The group of meerkats recently put their teamwork skills to the test when they spotted a hawk circling high above them whilst they were eating their morning feed. Whilst the meerkats ate their food one of the group kept watch and, after a little while, they swapped over until they had all finished eating and the hawk had given up! The N/a’an ku se meerkat team are a clever little group!

Meanwhile Jessica our old Alpha meerkat has recently moved, with one of the baby meerkats, to our soon to be launched new Carnivore Research and Education Centre in Solitaire. We are hoping Jessica will start a new family of meerkats in this area.

In other farmyard news, both Sylvie and Lily are growing ever more confident and boisterous and can now regularly be found hanging around Food prep scrounging for food or trying to get into the fridge! Sylvie has even discovered the office and has been spotted in the office rummaging through the rubbish bins!



Lily





 

Sylvie

The irrepressible Bella was recently a little under the weather with a suspected virus but fortunately she wasn’t struck down for long and within about 24 hours she was back to her normal busy self! She soon had her full appetite back and has now become a permanent fixture outside food prep just waiting for any scraps, and when she isn’t outside food prep she can be found in the office eating paper directly out of the printer!

Bella and Eddie

Kataya is happily roaming with the wild horses and they can all regularly be heard near the volunteer tents. Clearly they have decided this is where the best grass is!
