open access meerkats

Few & far between. Most
times around $100 per per-
son just to have them sit on
your shoulder & — most
probably — shit on your
shirt. I don't know what the
meerkats get out of it. Their 

behavior doesn't change —
their groups are still distinct
as are their roles within them;
the sentinel, the care-givers,
the foragers. Maybe I'm over-
looking the ones who stay
within the burrow &, from 

the data relayed by those 
up on the surface, compose
papers on topics such as 
Effects of the social behavior of 
meerkats, Suricata suricatta, 
on the antisocial behavior of hu-
mans, either singly or in groups.
