Download or read book Meerkats written by Lisa Hughes and published by Character-19. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This small mammal, belonging to the mongoose family, is native to parts of South Africa, southwestern Angola, the Namib Desert in Namibia, and Botswana’s Kalahari Desert. “Mobs” or “gangs” of meerkats are made up of around 20 individual family members, but larger groups of “super families” of around 50 or more, are not uncommon. The life span of a meerkat is around six or seven years, although this doubles for animals in captivity. These amazing creatures have no excess “fat” stores and daily foraging is a necessity. A “sentry” or “guard” watches as the mob forage for food, and keeps an eye out for predators. This usually lasts an hour as the gang search for insects, lizards, snakes, scorpions, eggs, spiders, and small mammals. The sentry will “bark” or whistle loudly if danger is approaching, but when all is well, the meerkat on duty will make peeping sounds to indicate relative safety. Through various forms of media, these cute furry animals have grown in popularity over the years with the public. This book takes a look at the fascinating life of the meerkat, the history of the mammal and its natural habitat, as well as meerkat anatomy, populations, groups, and long-term survival.

While others are looking for food or playing outside the burrow, a "sentry" meerkat stands guard, watching for predators. When a predator is spotted, the sentry gives a warning bark, and members of the group scatter or run into one of the many connecting holes leading into the burrow. Michelle Voss is a retired elementary teacher and a parent of three children. As a teacher and parent, she understand the impact books have on children.

Each recipe has a Food For Thought sidebar, which provides families with surprising, funny, and sometimes yucky information about the animals, birds, and insects of southern Africa's Kalahari Desert. The easy-to-understand recipes, with measurements in both standard and metric, were tested by a professional chef. A wise traditional African proverb reflects the theme of each recipe." -- page 4 of cover
