They go back into their burrows. When they are away from burrows they just have to run and hide hoping that a predator doesn't see them.

Meerkats escape the heat by burrowing underground because it is much cooler under there.

What are the meerkats predater?

eerkats are not very big, so there are some animals that will eat them - if they can catch them! A jackal is a kind of wild dog that hunts meerkats. Here is a picture of a jackal. nother animal that hunts meerkats is the serval. A serval is a kind of cat that is bigger than the kind of cat you might have as a pet. It isn't as big as a lion or a tiger, but it is big enough to eat meerkats. Servals and jackals both have to sneak up on meerkats if they want to catch them. If the meerkats see a serval or jackal in time, they can run into their tunnels or get ready to fight. Meerkats have long claws and sharp teeth that can make them hard to catch. ere is another enemy that meerkats have to watch out for, and this one can be harder to escape. Martial eagles like to swoop down out of the air and snatch up a meerkat. The eagles fly so fast that it's hard for the meerkats to see them in time to hide. That makes the martial eagle the most dangerous enemy of meerkats.
