meerkats on the sand

At the Irchel campus, we study the social behaviour, perception, and communication of meerkats, particularly focusing on their different calls. Observing them in an enclosure is often easier than in their natural habitat and can give us preliminary insights before going into the field. During the tour, we will visit them together and explain the background of our research conducted locally and in the Kalahari.
