The meerkat mother saved his children from the snake's mouth.

Photographer RobinHoskyns is working as a research assistant on a meerkat project in the kalahari desert in South Africa. But what he captured was an ordinary day in a desert family.

This cute animal usually lets a newborn baby stay in the cave for three weeks, and then it takes a long time to open the eyes of a newborn baby. They take care of the newborn until they are able to face the world, or they will be helpless.

This afternoon in Hoskyns, it seems the meerkat family is in trouble. But fortunately, these meerkats are protected by parents and nannies.
