Meeting the giant
Meerkats weigh about 700g and an ostrich can weigh even 150 kg, so it is more than 200 times larger than meerkats. For these nice little animals it is a real giant. So it is not surprising that with such attention and astonishment they stare at the giant bird - the largest living bird in the world. Despite the difference in size, the ostrich was no threat to the brave meerkats, and he passed by completely indifferently, seeming to have not noticed them at all.
