Who works with meerkats in the Crofoot department?
Exactly! In cooperation with Marta Manser she is researching the social behavior of meerkats. The focus of her research is on the many different sounds the animals make. They make these, for example, to signal to their fellow meerkats that the monitored area is safe and that the fellow meerkats can come out of their burrow to go in search of food. Very social, the little meerkats!
