Why do meerkats share their burrows with other animals? How do meerkats catch scorpions? What does it mean when a mob of meerkats starts to 'dance'? Read this book to find out the answers to these questions and more. Find out how meerkats work together to find food, stay safe, and raise their young. Discover how they communicate in order to pass on information and give warnings. How does living in a group give them an advantage over other animals? The book finishes with a look at other African mammals, such as lions and naked mole rats, which also live in groups.
