Meerkats

 

Many animals teach their young. Birds, lions, cats and so on. But did you know that meerkats actually hold classes for their young and make the lessons more difficult in order to teach their young?

They first give their young a dead scorpion and teach them to attack it and kill it. Then they give them a live scorpion with the sting removed so they can actually fight it with no danger to the young. Then they give them a live poisonous scorpion and supervise the fight to protect their offspring.

Now I wonder, how many human parents teach their children of the difficulties and dangers they will encounter in life?

    ...our DIL and Granddaughter are in Korea visiting family. They went to a cafe where Meerkats and other critters run loose!

      Meerkats are very clever. Over here they sell insurance. God bless, Tom.

    I'd no idea! To answer your question, too few parents (including myself) ever practiced these lessons. Thankfully, we have a Father in Heaven who's always there for us.

      When I look at the world today, there are so many dangers and pitfalls we should teach future generations.

      God bless you, Mevely.

    You can only share your experiences with danger to your kids. There are so many today and I think the biggest lesson you can teach is to be aware and pay attention. Too many crazies out there and you never know when a crisis will arise.

      You said it right, Bill. We need to teach our children that the world is a bad place right now and to be aware.

      God bless you and yours.

      We can only do our best as parents, Sandi. And trust in God as much as we can.

      God bless you and your family.

    Fun facts, Victor! Today's parents could learn a lot from the meerkats.
    Blessings!

      True, there's a lot which parents are not teaching the next generations these days.

      God bless, Martha.
