A family of meerkats is tracked and filmed, providing first-rate entertainment with a blend of animal documentary footage and dramatic narration, as members eke out a survival in the brutal surroundings of Africa's Kalahari Desert. Underground cameras give viewers a never-before-seen glimpse into the animals' dens. Action mostly centered on the Whiskers family, with its matriarch Flower and later, her daughter, Rocket Dog.
