For 400, Name two animals that help meerkats by starting the holes that meerkats expand into burrows and bolt holes.
FKMP gave these three examples--ground squirrels, aardvarks, and pangolins? But these were only examples, so I gave full points for other animals.

For 500, These three behaviors can be observed in subordinates who are the targets of aggression by a dominant.
I gave full points for submissive behaviors referenced on public sources, including from MM episodes. The ones that I used as my initial reference points were from the Earthwatch Field Guide/FKMP link as pointed out by Meerkat1212: What are dropping head and relaxing body, making submission calls, and grooming?

First to the finish line was Squirrellygirly-1500**Winner**
