Animal facts-Meerkat


In this blog post I will be discussing the Meerkat.

They live in southern Africa. They are mammals and are omnivores. They can weigh less than two lbs. They can be 1 foot long. Meerkats are also called suricates. They eat insects, lizards, birds and fruit. They dig tunnels to keep them cool from hot sun. Mothers give birth to 2-4 young. They are brown and black. They are not endangered at all. They can live up to 15 years.

This is the picture of a Meerkat. I found this picture on animals.nationalgeographic.com.
