Meerkats get their name from their ability to stand on two legs, similar to humans, and keep a close eye on their surroundings. They are very inquisitive and a cute sight

Hiking

Contrary to the motto "Hakuna matata" from the movie "The Lion King", which translates to "no worries", meerkats are always on the lookout. While part of the colony digs almost constantly for food (“scratching animals”), the rest of the animals take up positions and guard the colony.
