Fun Facts
Meerkats are little guys weighing in at only about one and a half pounds. They use their tails to balance, so they can stand up and look out for predators. Also, they have built-in sunglasses in the way of black patches around their eyes that help deflect the hot desert sun’s glare. Meerkats live in Southern Africa in big, tight-knit groups with their aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, and family friends. These highly social mammals use body language, sounds, and scents to communicate extremely well. They cooperate in many ways, such as by babysitting each other’s kids. Plus, they even have a little fun by competing in wrestling matches and foot races! Their homes are made up of a system of tunnels, which the Meerkats dig so they can hunt for their underground food. And what do they eat? Why bugs and rodents of course! This crawly cuisine is a feast Meerkats love to have on their menu!
