breeding
-Gestation: Eleven weeks
-Breeding season: October-April in the wild. Year-round
in captivity.
-Litter size: 2 to 5.
Life span : 12 – 14 years
5. Science Aspect
Chemistry
The meerkat include coloration
that helps camouflage them from
predators and an immunity to
highly venomous scorpion stings.
They are known for standing
upright to keep watch, search for
prey or warm their stomachs.
They have dark patches around their
eyes that act to cut down on the glare
and help them see far into the distance.

c) 30-40 km/h
Ans : b
8. Quiz
What is one of their specialization?

Ans : A
11. Quiz
How long is their life span?
a ) 11-16 years
b) 5-10 years
c)12-14 years
Ans : C
12. Values
Aspect
The meerkat have the value responsibility. They have
responsibility because they take care of their young from
their enemies.
The meerkat also have the value respect because they
show respect to other meerkat and this will prevent
them from having a fight.
13. National Education
Aspect -What are some defense mechanism the
animal has to protect itself?
Answer: The Meerkats have job groups. There is
a watchmen job. This job is basically when a
Meerkat looks out for any danger. The
watchmen Meerkat give a specific sound, an
alert signal, and then all the Meerkats run to their
homes and hide
14. National Education
Aspect
5a)How has the animal evolved or adapted
itself to survive?
Answer:
The dark circles around meerkats' eyes are
like sunglasses, being that a meerkat can
look almost directly into the sun to look for
predators And they do not need too much
water .
16. Group
Reflection
We had fun doing this project and we learned
a lot of important things that we do not know.
The trip to the zoo was interesting because
we could see some rare animal that some
countries do not have. We would like to have
another chance to do a group project.We also
learn what is teamwork like and how hard to
be putting the same efforts for the project.
Thank you for your co-operation :D
