Meerkats Playing (VIDEO) University of Cambridge This video is under embargo. Please login to access this video.

Since they live together in such close proximity and interact many times each day, it is unsurprising that individual meerkats are able to monitor each other's strength, weight and growth. Moreover, it is likely that changes in growth rate are associated with olfactory cues that rivals can pick up. Credit Pauline Toni, University of Zurich and the Kalahari Meerkat Project.
