Meerkats are small, carnivorous mammals belonging to the family of mongooses. They are native to the dry and open areas of Southern Africa, such as the Kalahari and Namib Deserts. An adult meerkat weighs about 0.5 to 1 kilogram and has a length of about 25 to 35 centimeters, excluding the tail. Their slender bodies, sharp claws and bright eyes make them excellent diggers and hunters.

What makes meerkats special is their social dynamics and watchful behavior. They live in groups called "gangs" or "clans," which often consist of multiple family groups. Within these groups, cooperation is vital, especially when it comes to finding food and detecting danger. A fun fact about meerkats is that they often stand on their hind legs to scout their surroundings, keeping a sharp eye out for predators such as eagles or snakes. This watchful posture is one of the meerkat's most iconic and recognizable behaviors.
