Detailed explanation-1: -For example, meerkat adults teach their pups how to eat a venomous scorpion by removing the stinger and showing the pups how to handle the creature.
Detailed explanation-2: -In addition to taking turns as guard, meerkats also share the duty of raising the pups and teaching them how to hide, hunt, clean, and defend all that is theirs. The mother needs to spend time foraging to supply her pups with milk, so other females and males stay behind to care for and protect her young.
Detailed explanation-3: -In humans, the scorpion’s venom will paralyze muscles and restrict the airways within minutes. But Meerkats have little fear of the deadly predator. They nimbly maneuver around its lethal tail. With swift precision, the scorpion is disarmed of it posionous weapon.
Detailed explanation-4: -Meerkats defend themselves by standing upright and puffing up their fur. When a group of meerkats does this, it helps scare off predators.
