Submitted on Saturday, March 28 @ 00:07:52 UTC by Grant Observations from the personal film archives of Grant M. Mc Ilrath - A.K.A - The Meerkat Man from The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project in The Meerkat Magic Valley Reserve which forms the territory of The Ungulungu Wild and Free meerkat / meerkats / suricate / suricates range.
Meeting a very hairy and fast orange ferocious predatory solifuge; sunspider ; camel spider; baardskeurder
What is orange and hairy and a very fast predatory invertebrate that hunts at night in The Meerkat Magic Valley Reserve...the solifuge...
Unfortunately for the solifuge which often hides within the ground during the day, the wild meerkats from The Ungulungu meerkat group frequently dig this species up. Although the solifuge will attack the meerkat aggressivley with their strong scissor like mandibles that can inflict a serious wound, most meerkats who have been bitten by a solifuge before, will first drag the unfortunate creature out of it's hiding place and with the meerkats strong nails they will immobilise it by rapidly pulling it along the ground first. Then the meerkat will dispatch the solifuge with a few quick bites to the head.
A solifuge is what I call meerkat desert, much like the scorpion it is full of nutrients and moisture for a hungry and thirsty meerkat, this often causes fighting amongst foraging meerkats who will commonly try and help eat this spider like species even if they did not dig it up themselves!
Many people will be quick to run away from a scurrying solifuge, but the hungry meerkat will run after these special snacks!
