Do meerkat pups really have babysitters?
These babies have babysitters on duty. Meerkat pups are raised by the whole group, not just their mother.
While the mother goes out to forage, helpers stay at the burrow to guard the pups.
Some babysitters even go without food all day, just to keep the pups safe.
Then the adults teach the pups to hunt, starting with dead prey, then live prey with the stinger bitten off.
So, do meerkat pups really have babysitters? Yes, and teachers too.
