For 100, what was the total rainfall for the month of September?

For 100 What is zero?

For 200, what was the coldest night in September?

For 200 What is 27 f/2 c?

For 300, what do the meerkats drink when there is no water in the desert?

For 300 What is the meerkats don't need extra water as long as they have succulent little insects and reptiles to devour �?but they still like to drink once water is available. There are several dams in the Kuruman River Reserve, coming from its past as a cattle farm. Now the dams are used by the KMP's game when the Kuruman River is dry? All though there have been rumors over at the commandos that some kats have been spotted drinking

For 400, what is the mortality rate from predation for young meerkats (6 months or younger)?

For 400 What is I am so rusty that I can't find the answer... maybe 30%?

For 500, what are the ways subordinates initiate submissions?

For 500 What is subordinate meerkats often submit to the dominant male and female, usually at times when they are

receiving a great deal of aggression. Submissions to the dominant female are most common by

subordinate females to the dominant female just before she evicts them from the group in the late stages of

her pregnancy.

Submissions are initiated by subordinates in the presence of dominant individuals; they can be very long or

extremely brief and very subtle. Meerkats submit by:

�?Drooping head and relaxing body - This is a posture offering no offensive threat. They often

approach by crawling up to the dominant.

�?Making submission calls - repeated high-pitched ‘mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi�?calls.

�?Grooming - they approach making submission calls and begin grooming.

Look out for what the subordinate did and how the dominant responded. The dominant usually ignores it

but sometimes asserts dominance over the subordinate?
