Kalahari Meerkats

The rains have finally arrived in the Kalahari and the vast desert has never looked better. Cleo, the boss of this small group of wild meerkats has given birth to five new pups. The rest of gosa gang are glowing with pride at the new arrivals and the pups have started to explore their new world.

In another cruel twist Cleo’s young pup Ophelia got left behind on a foraging trip and was killed by one of the Kalahari’s most dangerous creatures, a Goshawk. The remaining three pups: Zeus, Daisy and Flo have lost their dear sister and playmate and this is causing high levels of insecurity.

The Gosa Gang have recently moved into a new home known as Fortress burrow, close to the Gosa Dam where a rival family of meerkats live. In the quest for territorial dominance there has been a major meerkat stand¬off, resulting in both gangs losing a member of their tribe.

Summer has arrived in the kalahari. It has been three weeks since the last rains and the desert is flourishing. A large group of giraffe have moved into the area which has been unsettling for the gang. Although harmless to meerkats, giraffe are terrifyingly tall which in itself is enough to be on constant alert.

Finally the two rival gangs meet and a big battle ensues. The Gosa Gang are on their way home from the Whispering Forest and bump into their bitter enemies head on. In an attempt to get past them and move over the mountain a full on war breaks out.
