Meerkats stand on their hind legs to look out for danger. A meerkat on sentry duty will warn the others if it spots a predator.

Meerkats love to play! Playtime helps young meerkats learn important skills like hunting and defending their territory.

Meerkats eat a variety of foods, including insects and lizards. They are immune to certain types of venom, which allows them to eat scorpions and snakes!

In a meerkat mob, everyone looks out for one another. They groom each other, share food, and even take turns babysitting the young meerkats.

The dark patches around a meerkat’s eyes help reduce the sun's glare, allowing them to see better when keeping watch during the day.

Meerkats spend a lot of time grooming themselves and each other. This helps keep their fur clean and free from parasites.
