After a while, you would see a little nose and then a cute face pop out. There is always one meerkat acting like a sentry. The sentry would face the sun with its forelimb beside its body. The sunshine will make its belly very warm. You could see its head turning around with its eyes checking out the surrounding environment. It will closely check for humans, grass as well as the sky, where its natural enemies will appear.
After its job done, it would send out send out a voice signal for its fellows to come out and enjoy the sunshine just like it did.
