Written by the Cambridge professor who made them stars, Meerkat Manor is an exclusive, detailed look inside the lives of the Whiskers, the meerkat clan featured on the hit Animal Planet show. Behind-the-scenes detail provided by expert author Tim Clutton-Brock sheds light on Flower's early years, her fight to rule the Whiskers, and her struggle to stay on top. With beautiful illustrations and a meerkat's-eye view of life in the Kalahari, Meerkat Manor also contains an easy-to-understand introduction to animal societies, meerkats, their predators and prey. Like humans, meerkats can be cute, cuddly, affectionate, fearless, and amazingly unselfish; also like us, they can become vicious, vindictive, and even murderous within a split second. By explaining the lives of the Whiskers, Clutton-Brock shares his perspective on how the lives of all animals (including humans) are structured by the need both to compete and to cooperate.
\ From Barnes & NobleMeerkats are small burrowing animals that reside in Botswana and South Africa's Kalahari Desert. Technically a member of the mongoose family, these cuddly little things have recently become famous, thanks largely to a popular Emmy-winning British documentary that shares this book's title. Clutton-Brock describes the Kalahari Meerkat Project, which has devoted years of study to the Whiskers, a clan of roaming meerkats. A fascinating study of cuddly, unselfish animals.\ \
