Morning Starters: Autumn 1 - Teamwork
Did You Know?
Meerkats are small mammals that live in the arid regions of southern Africa, such as the Kalahari and Namib deserts. Meerkats are excellent team players. These sociable mammals live in groups (called mobs or clans), working together to forage for food, watch out for predators and care for young. Their cooperative behaviour helps ensure the safety and well-being of the entire group.
