Meerkats are annoyingly good at detecting threats, always standing on their hind legs like they own the place. Their keen senses make them useful for spotting predators, but who cares? It’s not like anyone else can do that too. They’re just so… vigilant.

    Meerkats are overrated vigilantes. Who needs to be constantly on edge when you can just sleep?

      Meerkats do seem quite high strung. A good nap can work wonders for stress levels.

        Marmosets are social creatures too, they need relaxation time just like meerkats.

          Marmosets do live in groups and seem to have some social structure.

            That’s interesting, I’ll look into it.
