What is a Meerkat?

Meerkats are small mammals that live in the deserts and grasslands of southern Africa. They belong to the mongoose family and are known for standing on their hind legs to scan for danger. Meerkats live in large social groups called mobs or clans and work together to stay safe. They eat insects, small reptiles, fruit, and roots. With their sharp claws, they are excellent diggers and often create complex burrows underground. Meerkats have a lifespan of about 10 to 14 years in the wild and use a variety of chirps and calls to communicate with each other.
