Submitted by Grant on Friday, July 31 @ 22:23:58 UTC July 2015: Many new images have been added to The Meerkat Magic Valley Reserve Riverine Ecology taken over June 2015 at The Meerkat Magic Valley Reserve of The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project gallery, including views, fauna and flora: Termites that wild meerkats eat as part of their primarily insectivorous diet and a toxic hairy caterpillar and an escape burrow showing how the interior is dry after rain in The Meerkat Magic Valley Reserve of The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project- home to the Ungulungu meerkats and Tsebokolodi yellow mongooses.
All the species of fauna and flora no matter their size are protected by The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project in The Meerkat Magic Valley Reserve, the home of The Ungulungu wild and free meerkats and The Tsebokolodi wild and free yellow mongooses.
Every reserve protected species here is an essential part of the ecology that provides a home to the meerkat and many other better known or larger species.
All these reserve species are simply trying to make a living, just like the rest of us. However soo many species are not even considered in the media due to their size or lack of popularity - these reserve albums are here to create an awareness of some of the lesser known species in the meerkats habitat.

Nature Poems: June 2015: The grass ate my boots - a nature poem composed by Grant M. Mc Ilrath
Submitted by Grant on Tuesday, June 30 @ 23:24:07 UTC The grass ate my boots - a nature poem composed by Grant M. Mc Ilrath - A.K.A - The Meerkat Man - dedicated to my mother Estelle Mc Ilrath who has experienced this too and asked me to write about this - so here it is Mom.
Kalahari sour grass (Schmidtia kalahariensis), it is called Suur gras in Afrikaans.
This grass covers vast areas of the Kalahari desert after heavy rainfall. It is very sticky and acidic and highly irritating to any skin surfaces and it destroys clothing.
Over seven years in the Kalahari wilderness I had many pairs of shoes eaten away by this grass.
My tatty shoes even featured in an internationally screened National Geographic documentary called Meerkat Madness back in 2000 where the camera follows me walking at a low angle with a focus on my old worn out grass eaten boots.
This poem is for all who have experienced the Kalahari grass up close and a warning to anybody who has not. As I enjoy mentioning it is nice from far, but far from nice...
