Science AspectBiology

-Specialization: Alpha male and female do most of the breeding

-Gestation: Eleven weeks

-Breeding season: October-April in the wild. Year-round in captivity.

Science AspectChemistry

The meerkat include coloration that helps

camouflage them from predators and an immunity

to highly venomous scorpion stings. They are known for standing

upright to keep watch, search for prey or warm their

stomachs. They have dark patches around their eyes that act to cut down on the glare and help them see

far into the distance.

Group Reflection

We had fun doing this project and we learned a lot of important things that we do not know. The trip to the zoo was interesting because we could see some rare animal that some countries do not have. We would like to have another chance to do a group project.We also learn what is teamwork like and how hard to be putting the same efforts for the project.

Thank you for your co-operation :D
