Same about meerkats and ferrets - they are both burrowing animals
I don't think gerbils are related to meerkats. I know mongooses are related to meerkats if that helps.
Ferrets fur is different from a mouse. Ferrets are in the weasel family same as minks and ermines. Mice are in the rodent family and not related to ferrets
meerkats have a slender body,small legs,brown and black fur,and small ears.they look similar to ferrets but a little different.
The mongoose is the closest animal in relation to the meerkat. Many think the ferret is but in fact, the closest they are is the carnivore family. mongoose are much closer to the meerkat species
No, the meerkat is a type of mongoose, and they are not related to mustelids.
Ferrets have been mated with mink, wild European polecats (ferrets) and ermine, and have been surrogates for black footed ferrets, and are related to otters, but I don't think that mating with an otter would be successful.
they are in the weasel family, and the skunk family.Yes, both ferrets and weasels and minks belong to the family mustelidae.
No, meerkats do not live in the rainforest. They are found in the savannas and dry grasslands of southern Africa. Meerkats are well adapted to these arid environments where they dig burrows to escape heat and predators.
No, the animal name is spelled weasel. (related to badgers and ferrets)
