Starlight came above ground and stood to sun herself.

Riverdance was cleaning out the burrow entrances.

Akila woke up and darted above ground ready to go foraging.

Abasi was still asleep.

General was up and already on scentry duty.

Sage emerges from the burrow, peeps a good morning to everyone then begins to sun herself.

Starlight waits for the rest of the feamily to wake.

Akila couldn't wait she darted below ground and pouned on Abasi and barked, wake up lazy bones!

Abasi jumped up with a squeal of surprise and pouned on the laughing Akila,.

Sage scans the horizon amazed at how beautiful the Kalahari looks this morning. She spots a heard of springbok in the distance and watches them as they graze.

Jackson emerges quietly.
Diara emerges from her bolt-hole, not to far away. Even though the Stargazers were close, she had no idea where they were.

Starlight noticed Diara was missing and actually felt a little relieved.

Akila bolted out of the burrow with Abasi right on ger tail.

They ran in circles aroun the group.

Riverdance stopped digging and watched them.

Sage watches Akila and Abasi run around the group and chuckles. She's still oblivious that Diara is missing from the group.

Akila suddenly stopped and Abasi crashed into her, they landed in a heap. Akila burst out laughing.

Abasi had toppled over Akila and was now under her, he let out a sigh as his sister got up, laughing histericly.

Sage cringed seeing them crash into each other but smiles when she sees they were ok and laughing.

Starlight made lead calls and led the group to go out foraging.

General followed close behind.

Akila and dashed after their mother.

Riverdance lagged behind as usual.

Sage follows taking her time.

Abasi starts to lag behind a little and Riverdance picks him up in her mouth and carries him.

Sage trots to keep up with the group and watches the skies for predators at the same time.

General also keeps his eyes on the skies.

Sage begins to space out amazed at how beautiful the Kalahari looks this morning and starts to fall behind.

General noticed the elder meerkat falling behind and barked a warning to her to alert her that she was falling too far behind.

Sage hears General's bark and snaps out of her day dream then quickens her pace to catch up to the group. Little does she know something is stalking her. A genet lies in wait in the tall grass close to the group. It had seen her fall behind and sees her as an easy target because of her aged, fragil look. It waits for when she falls behind or seperates from the group to strike. Sage catches an unwelcome scent in the air and knows from experiance that it's the scent of a genet. She stops and stands on her hind legs scanning the surrounding area carefully and closely. Sage narrows her eyes smirking cleverly knowing they like to hide in tall grass and will probably see the genet first before it could ambush the group.

General also caught the scent and alerted the group.

Starlight growled as she and General stood next to Sage ready to mob the genet.

Riverdance joined them.

Akila and Abasi watch, they were too small to take on a predator.

Suddenly, Sage spots the genet in the tall grass dangerously close to the group. She narrows her eyes and smirks cleverly(There you are). The genet is in a stalking position but before it could launch its ambush attack, Sage sounds the alarm call and points her nose in the direction where she saw the genet.

Starlight moves forward and bobs her head making spit and growl calls.

General followed and mobbed.

Riverdance snarled and joined the mobbing.

Sage gets down to all 4s and joins the mobbing, making spit and growl calls.

The genet realizes its cover has been blown but is starving and choses to hold its ground waiting for the meerkats to get even closer to lash out.

General hissed baring his teeth, he was a large male, and it would prove useless to try and get a meal under his protection.

Starlight snarled.

Riverdance barked and chattered angrily and repeatedly.

Sage snarls and lunges forward nailing a vicious bite to the genet's front paw then jumps back quickly to avoid a retaliation.

The genet yowls in pain backing away slightly but decides not to go down with out a fight. The genet hisses and takes a slash with its claws at the group.

General, Starlight, and Riverdance jump back as it swipes, none of them hit.

General lunges forward and gives it a hard, tortise shell crushing, bite square on the nose and jumped back before the genet could fight back.

Sage was a bit slower to dodging the genet's claws but manages to escape being slashed by inches. She lunges forward again biting down with bone crushing strength on the genent's leg then jumps to the right quickly before it could react.

The genet squeals in pain and limps back dazed. It takes a weak swipe at the group with it's uninjured left front paw but it's assault misses the group.
