What might look like harmless roughhousing is actually “practice” for adult life. Play fighting helps young meerkats develop the skills they'll need to compete for food, defend territory, and even attract future mates. Even mom joins in on the fun, because in social species like meerkats, play is serious business! | Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium | Facebook
