Description:

The Zambians and Zimbabweans call them "Sun Angels..." - because they are believed to protect the villages from the "Moon Devil," or werewolf.

The Meerkat may have the ability to eat scorpions and other creepy crawlies, but he is also a social powerhouse! The heirloom-quality Meerkat costume includes: A one-piece footed coverall featuring a full satin lining, comfortable elastic cuffs, luxurious velour exterior, an attached tail, and a snap-inseam that makes diaper changes a breeze! A separate character headpiece, with 3-D facial attributes and a quilted satin lining, is also included to complete this darling design. A Velcro-back closure, non-slip soles-embellished with a Meerkat foot design, and cozy construction are delightful details that will make this cuddly creature’s costume a coveted garment throughout your family’s generations!

  • Available in Infant and Toddler Sizes: 6-12 Months, 12-18 Months, 18-24 Months.

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!

Title: Great costume

Date: Oct 02, 2009

I was very impressed with this costme. Almost ordered a similar one from a different website (very big store) and they would not ship to a APO address (we are military and living overseas). I found it here for $5 cheaper and I got i within a week. My 2 year old loved it. I ordered the 18 month size as she is on the small side. It fit perfectly (no room for growing but I dont need it for that). She had no problem with the head piece and was so excited about it. Highly recommend!

Title: Cutest Ever

Date: Oct 10, 2008

I bought the 18-24 month size costume for my 21 month old son. According to the pediatrician, he is off the charts (over 150%) for height and he weighs 32 lbs. The costume was absolutely adorable, but the arms, trunk and character hood were too short for him (see pic). I think the hood should attach beneath his chin, rather than across it (see pic). Nonetheless, I loved it enough that I have now ordered the 3T-4T size. I wish there had been a size 2T-3T, as I fear the 3T-4T may be too big when it arrives. I love the feet, and although they will get dirty after he walks around, I much prefer the footed jumpsuit to a costume with shoes. The footed portions seems thick enough to protect his feet, and it is much cuter than him having on shoes. I do WISH I could have found this costume with the attached character hood, as shown in photos 1 & 3 on the buycostume website. These two photos obviously differ from the itemized description. Overall, I love the costume and will be passing it off as Timon the meerkat from The Lion King...which I needed to go along with my 3 year old's Simba costume.
