Expert Solution
Step 1

   Meerkats are a group of small mammals found in some parts of south Africa. They mainly hunt for small vertebrates, insects etc. and they dig holes or burrows in the sand and forage in their territory both in night and day to capture prey. When they sense an emergency, like if their predators (eagles, fox, etc. ) are nearby, they communicate within their community via a alarm language which is very unique to the meerkats from the rest of the mammals. Biologists have been trying to decode their complex signal language, but have not been able to understand much. Meercats are very social and cooperative group of animals, which have different types of alarm calls to prepare themselves from predators, also during an group effort, such as foraging for food, or burrowing holes in the sand according to the extent of urgency.
