Frusrtation

So my work is not just fun and games.

Every afternoon i have to find the meerkat's to see where they sleep, so that i know where to take people the next morning. You see the meerkat's live on a 800 hta property.

Now usually their burrow area is only about 20 hta, but they can forage up to 2 or 3 km away from their burrows, and i have seen where they go up to 4 km chasing intruder meerkat's.

The past week and a half they have been gone 3 times that i could not find them and i had to cancel tours, very frustrating!!!

There have been a lot of aerial activity over Meerkat ville, in the form of big flock's of ravens battling over territory and with everything in general.

With young baby's in the group the meerkat's take no chances. So when they come back from foraging and they see these birds all over their burrows they will divert to inferior burrows in another area and sleep there, making it imposible for me to find them.

Yesterday was one of those day's.
