Animals Compared to Humans: Meerkats attend scorpion-hunting kindergarten

Researchers are finding out that although meerkats are good teachers, they're not that smart.

Teaching

We may be the only animals to go to school, but we are not the only ones that can teach. Meerkats, for example, are taught the most important life skills they need by their elders. It might seem that intelligence is the key to being a good teacher, but researchers believe this is not necessarily true for these animals. Meerkats rely on instinct when they are teaching their young how to kill scorpions.
