How Meerkats Live in the Wild

Meerkats live in organized social groups called mobs or gangs in the dry desert regions of southern Africa. While most members forage for insects and small reptiles, one individual acts as a sentinel on elevated ground to watch for danger. Sentinels use distinct vocal calls to alert the group about airborne or ground predators.

Meerkats have a clear protective membrane that sweeps across their eyes when digging. Their small ears also close tightly to prevent dirt from entering while constructing underground tunnels.
