Investigative guides which reveal amazing facts about members of the animal kingdom. Today's focus is on Morris, a meerkat who lives in the Kalahari Desert with his mum, dad and the rest of the meerkat gang. Mama is the leader and the only female who is allowed to breed. Dad is the top male, three years old and in his prime.

The most important rule in meerkat life is 'All for one, and one for all!' However, not all meerkats are born equal. If one comes from another gang, there is a price to pay: babysitting naughty youngsters and working as a sentry. Only by spending time with their noses in the sand can meerkats find enough buried food, but this means they are vulnerable to attack from the air. Meerkats have solved this problem with an effective surveillance system requiring someone to be on sentry duty at all times, watching for danger.

Sreath a tha a' toirt thugainn fiosrachadh a tha inntinneach agus iongantach mu chuid de na h-ainmhidhean as fhe脿rr leinn uile. An-diugh tha sinn a' coinneachadh Morris, meer-cat a tha a' fuireach ann am F脿sach Kalahari c貌mhla ri mh脿thair, athair agus an c貌rr den bhuidheann. 'S e a mh脿thair ceannard na buidhne agus 's i an aon bhoireannach aig am faod piseagan a bhith. 'S e dad am pr矛omh fhireannach, 3 bliadhna dh'aois agus aig a l脿n neart.Chan eil meer-cait uile air am breith co-ionnan. Ma bhuineas fear do bhuidheann eile tha pr矛s ri ph脿igheadh: a' coimhead 脿s d猫idh clann chrosta agus a' cumail faire. Tha seo deatamach. Cha lorg meer-cait biadh gu le貌r mur a c霉m iad an sr貌inean sa ghainmhich, ach tha seo a' ciallachadh nach urrainn dhaibh uile s霉il a chumail airson cunnart. Ach tha siostam faire 猫ifeachdach aca le aon bhall a' cumail faire fad na h-霉ine.
