Tired meerkat falling asleep

This exhausted meerkat is acting exactly like we do when class/work/[insert tedious activity here] becomes more boring than we can handle! This poor meerkat just can’t seem to keep it together. Meerkats live together in large groups in which each member performs a specific duty, like guarding the colony from intruders. Based on descriptions of meerkat sentinel behavior, we think that’s what this meerkat may have been trying to do, albeit very unsuccessfully! Luckily it looks like this group is at the zoo, so there is no real danger. Near the end of the video, the little kat finally gives in and falls asleep right where it is sitting!
