It lives in the African Savanna grasslands in groups of twenty five to fifty. These groups are called mobs or manors. The female meerkat gives birth to two to five pups

emphasizes the altruistic qualities of meerkats, the professor focuses on explaining some arguments that reedem the characteristics of the mammal. First of all, the passage states that in groups of meerkats, there is one which acts as a sentinel and that if a predator approches the group, he gives an alarm cry alerting the other meerkats to escape from the predator, but as some could consider this act heroic because the sentinel has no food and the rest of the meerkats have the food they had hunted, the

Life of Pi: Psychological Criticism of the Meerkat Island The ocean, a magnificent image, yet the most deadly of all. Pi is on his way to Canada for a fresh start with his family when their boat sinks in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

passage, it is stated that both animals and other mamals can be altruistic, the exeple of giving food and meerkats are used to illustrate this opinion. In contrast, during the lecture, the professor refutes that statement by explaining that a new, more recent study on meerkats shows that actually the exemples do not show real altruism. First of all, in the reading passage we learn that meerkats show altruism with the act of being a sentinel while the others eat, this sentinel will create an alarm
