Meerkats live in group of 20-30 individuals. They are social
animals that do everything together. They hunt together, rest together and care
for safety together. While hunting, it may seem that each member of the herd
follows its own path and, regardless of the others, looks for larvae or other
treats on its own paw ; However, if one notices that one is too far away from
the others, quickly shortens the distance, because each one feels much safer in
the group.
A day knowledge
Wild lions do have a growing problem. A really big one. Due to them now forced into a small fragment of their historic hunting grounds, thanks to hunting, persecution and habitat loss, what was once a 'no-no' is now happening. Inbreeding. The fewer lions we see have resulted in a depleted gene pool -- thereby, creating a weaker lion -- which we still believe is not possible... Their wonderful diversity, their large gene pool once naturally available, is no longer there. Our general population does not yet notice their slow destruction. They do not see it. Oh, but they will. @www.entawuoexpeditions.com
