General Information about Meerkats:

Meerkats, also known as suricates, are small carnivores belonging to the mongoose family. They inhabit the dry and semi-dry regions of South Africa, primarily the Kalahari Desert. Meerkats measure about 25 to 35 centimetres in length, with a 20 to 25 centimetre long tail that helps them balance while standing. They have a grey-brown fur with distinctive dark eye patches and short but strong claws that they use for digging.

Behaviour, Distribution, and Lifestyle:

Meerkats live in large family groups called clans, which can consist of up to 50 members. These clans are highly social with a clear division of labour. While some meerkats forage for food, others keep watch and alert the group to dangers from birds of prey or other predators. Their primary food sources include insects, small vertebrates, and plants. Clan members maintain their social bonds through grooming and playing.

Quirky Features:

Meerkats have some quirky traits that set them apart from other animals. For instance, they have special eyelids that function as sunglasses to protect their eyes from the harsh desert sun. They also have impressive stamina and can produce over 50 different calls and sounds to communicate with each other. Their distinctive upright stance is another notable feature that helps them keep an eye out for predators.
