Alert meerkat,Suricata suricatta,keeps a lookout from a dead tree. This mongoose is watching for predators,especially vultures. The meerkat lives in colonies and feeds during the day,mainly on insects. A shrill warning cry will send the colony fleeing to its underground burrows. It is found in southern Africa.
