Synopsis:
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.
Synopsis: The life of the Meerkats - from the highly successful TV series, and soon to be released major feature film. Meerkat manor is the true-life story of Flower, the heroine of the successful television series and the dominant female of Whiskers group. This title is an engaging and informative look at what meerkats do, and why they do it, providing important insights into the workings of other animal societies, including humans. It is a world that mirrors our own - driven by the sometimes savage instincts of self-interest and survival. Through words and superb photographs, the reader is closely involved in the life-or-death struggles, just like a soap opera, of this curiously attractive tribe.
