Teaching Behaviors of Adult Meerkats part 2
Here is another article from the BBC in regards to the meerkat studies.
The article outlines the process by which adult meerkats will initially introduce their infants to dead prey. As the cubs mature, the adults will gradually transition towards live prey. As soon as three months old, the meerkats have become acclimated enough to be independent hunters.
