Meerkats (Suricata suricatta) are small mammels (members of the mongoose family) native to the Kalahari Desert and South Africa. They primarily eat insects but will also consume small reptiles, plants, and eggs. They live in large groups - up to 50 members - and live in "Meerkat Cities" which are complex chains of tunnels that they dig. Another cool thing about these guys is that they are completely immune to the very powerful venom of the scorpions in the Kalahari Desert.....unlike people.
