Wild meerkats (Suricata suricatta) Vs Scorpions
Wild meerkats (Suricata suricatta) live in fairly barren environments in southern Africa where finding food is no easy chore. Some of their favourite meals consist of scorpions, which are capable of killing an adult human. Apparently, the more poisonous, the tastier... While adult meerkats have some immunity to scorpion stings, the arachnid's large pincers can still inflict plenty of damage. Meerkat hunters rapidly bite their prey's head or abdomen to disable its attack and then indulge in their favourite "spicy" meal.
