Meerkats are small squirrel sized critters that come from the mongoose family.

Cute furry little Meerkats have pointy brown noses,
stripy backs,
a long thin tail to help with standing,
and dark brown patches around their binocular vision eyes!

Meerkats forage for a variety of food each day.
Scratching around in the sand they look for…
insects like - beetles, spiders and scorpions, or small reptiles, birds, eggs and fruit!

Living in large family groups of up to 40, called Mobs or Gangs,
they have amazing teamwork.
