Some would consider the dwarf mongoose the cutest creature on the African savanna.  Measuring 25 centimeters in length, they are actually the world’s smallest mongooses, living in a land with many predators.  They survive by forming packs of about 20 members and observing unique social rules.  In and around the anthills they call home, the mongooses follow a rigid hierarchy, where the lowest-ranking member of a pack is responsible for the most dangerous duties.  Eating and sleeping are secondary to watching out for enemies and protecting the pack.  Why do these animals risk their own lives to serve the other pack members?  It is, in fact, all part of an ingenious master plan.
