Aside from being a popular feature across many of our zoos and the Compare the Meerkat adverts, they often reside in the dry regions of Southern Africa, from Botswana to Zimbabwe. They're one of the tiniest, yet most sociable animals in the world. They can be found in colonies of up to 30 meerkats. They also look out for each other, the adult meerkats act as guards whilst the others forage for food. The meerkats are also incredibly well adapted for their role in the wild, their long claws help them dig their burrows and forage for food. Meerkats are even able to kill and eat venomous snakes and scorpions without being hurt as they are immune to the venom. It's safe to say that these cute creatures lead incredible lives!
