With beautiful illustrations and a meerkat's-eye view of life in the Kalahari,Meerkat Manoralso contains an easy-to-understand introduction to animal societies, meerkats, their predators and prey.Like humans, meerkats can be cute, cuddly, affectionate, fearless, and amazingly unselfish; also like us, they can become vicious, vindictive, and even murderous within a split second. By explaining the lives of the Whiskers, Clutton-Brock shares his perspective on how the lives of all animals (including humans) are structured by the need both to compete and to cooperate.
