Frequently asked
Where do meerkats live in the wild?
Meerkats live in the Kalahari Desert of southern Africa, primarily in Botswana, South Africa, and southern Namibia. They inhabit open grasslands and semi-arid savannas, creating extensive underground burrow networks called warrens that can have multiple entrances and tunnels stretching several meters deep.
What do meerkats eat?
Meerkats are omnivores that primarily eat insects like beetles, caterpillars, and spiders, which make up 80% of their diet. They also hunt small reptiles, scorpions, birds, eggs, and occasionally small mammals. Their excellent sense of smell helps them locate food buried in sand.
How big do meerkats get?
Adult meerkats are quite small, measuring about 25 to 35 centimeters in body length with tails adding another 17 to 25 centimeters. They typically weigh between 620 to 970 grams, making them one of the smaller mongoose species in Africa.
