The drongo is the Kalahari's greatest trickster.
-
And these are his victims... a family of meerkats, desert specialists.
-
After warming up in the morning sun, the meerkats begin their search for breakfast.
-
The drongo can now begin his tricks.
-
But he must first win the confidence of his victims.
-
He spots an eagle on the hunt and sounds a warning...one that sends the meerkats gratefully scurrying to safety.
-
Danger over.
-
And now he has their trust.
-
He sounds another warning.
-
But this time, it's a false alarm.
-
Thank you very much!
-
The meerkats fell for it.
-
This all seems too easy, he tries the same trick again.
-
But the meerkats aren't stupid.
-
They'll only fall for it once.
-
The juicy scorpion won't be for him.
-
Then, suddenly, the sound of a sentry's warning.
-
No meerkat can ignore that.
-
Sentries never lie but the sentry sees no danger.
-
Guess who.
-
Of course, it's the drongo.
-
He's learnt to mimic the meerkats' own warning call.
-
And now he can enjoy his prize.
-
A gang of meerkats, outsmarted by a bird.
