If the look like the same specie, do they seen similar?

Explanation:

If all the meerkats look similar, that is, they have the same color, shape, some general characteristics, so the behavior that they present are part of the community, meanwhile some of them are searching for food, other act as the guardians for predators or a possible danger for the family, so each  one acts with an specific role.
