    • Abstract:
      The article discusses a research study on the different calls or vocalizations of meerkats that serve as their way of communication. The researchers tackle the meaning of a high-pitched call or alarm call from lookouts in a meerkat mob and describe their observations on the response and behavior of the meerkats toward a possible danger or threat. A translation of several meerkat calls is outlined.
