which could mean trouble
for the meerkats.
to her youngster,
the meerkat guards
are clearly agitated.
But there's nothing they can do
except stand by and watch.
With the father returning
to the burrow as well,
there's no question
they're outgunned.
The mother tends to her offspring,
but it's the meerkats
that need consoling.
They built this neighborhood.
But now it's been taken over.
They gather the troops and leave.
Safe neighborhoods are hard to find
on the open Kalahari.
They stop often
For Ajax's family,
this departure could be a problem.
has just fled across the desert.
In a dry riverbed not far away,
the meerkats arrive at a new home
one they excavated earlier.
Still, it has to be inspected.
Sure enough,
there are other occupants...
another family of bat-eared foxes.
The bat-eared foxes will chase away
any jackals that could come near.
While protecting their young,
they'll be guarding the meerkats as well.
For the second fox family,
is extremely useful.
There's always at least
one meerkat on guard.
The only other animals around are
a harmless group of ground squirrels.
The new place seems safe enough,
but the meerkats are always curious,
always cautious.
With new neighbors,
everyone's a little on edge.
Soon the guard announces
a real threat:
the menacing jackal's back
on the scene.
The male fox races out,
urging the jackal to move on.
At the other den, Ajax, Selene,
and the pups
don't realize the jackal
With no meerkat sentry,
the foxes are more vulnerable
than ever.
Slipping through the shrubs,
the jackal gets very close...
...before he's spotted.
The jackal has been out-foxed
yet again,
but he'll never stop trying.
For all the animals here,
this is a lean and hungry time...
a time of long hunts
and little food.
At midday,
Ajax returns to the den to rest.
Daytime foraging can be rough
under the summer sun,
when temperatures of over 100 degrees
take their toll.
It's December,
the end of the hot dry season,
an open-air furnace.
Some of the animals here
are well-adapted to the heat,
but almost all seek out
whatever shade they can find
Only the hungriest are out
on the prowl,
like this gaunt mother cheetah.
Ajax must shepherd the pups back into
the burrow to wait out the threat
Little Adventure does not know
enough to hide.

Luckily for little Adventure,
