Morris the Meerkat (1x2)

Udgivelsesdato: Jan 17, 2016

In this episode the focus is on Morris, a meerkat who lives in the Kalahari Desert with his mum, dad and the rest of the meerkat gang. Mama is the leader and the only female who is allowed to breed. Dad is the top male, three years old and in his prime. The most important rule in meerkat life is 'All for one, and one for all!' However, not all meerkats are born equal. If one comes from another gang, there is a price to pay: babysitting naughty youngsters and working as a sentry. Only by spending time with their noses in the sand can meerkats find enough buried food, but this means they are vulnerable to attack from the air. Meerkats have solved this problem with an effective surveillance system requiring someone to be on sentry duty at all times, watching for danger.
