Have you ever seen a meerkat dear Atria? Last summer I visited two different safari parks and I had an opportunity to see there the whole meerkats families. They are very cute little animals. They are size of a squirrel, but they are not squirrels - they are mongooses, they live on the desert and they are famous for their upright posture. They often stand on their rear legs and gaze alertly over the desert.
The nice thing I've learned about meerkats is that they live in a very well structured communities and they work together in numbers. A few will typically serve as lookouts, watching the skies for birds of prey, such as hawks and eagles, that can snatch them from the ground. A sharp, shrill call is the signal for all to take cover. While a few individuals guard the group, the rest busy themselves foraging for the foods. The other meerkats will take care of pops and teach them survival skills.
I took some pictures of meerkats living in safari parks, so you can see how cute this little creatures are.

One of the most famous meerkats in the advertising business is meerkat Alexander Orlov from comparethemeerkat.com - I copied a picture of him for you - nice and fluffy creature he is. He is a Russian aristocrat meerkat, whose family went trough very difficult times and a lot of struggles to get to the point they are now - running a successful meerkat comparison business. Have you ever seen adverts with meerkat Alexander? He obviously is not real, he has been created for advertising purposes, but for millions of viewers he seems to be real. He has his own meerkat comparison website, he even has written a book about history of his meerkat family and his book has sold better than Tony Blair's autobiography. Anna thinks that it is the greatest advertising campaign ever and she loves the quirky idea. What do you think? Do you like adverts with meerkat Alexander? I didn't care about these things before, but now I like meerkats, because they remind me of my best friend, who left me, but hasn't left my heart.
