Tuesday

A single Meerkat:

Look at the image above. What can you see in the photograph? Where do you think the photograph was taken? What do you think the Meerkat is looking at? Meerkats stand up on their hind legs to get a better view of their surroundings. Why do you think they do this? How would it benefit them? Imagine that you are the sentry meerkat. It is your job to look out for potential predators such as vultures, snakes and hyenas. Imagine that one day you spot something you have never seen before. What is it? Why is it there? What do you, as the meerkat, do?

Write paragraphs describing your encounter with the visitor.
