a group of Meerkats i called a mob
technically the grouping is wrong as meerkats are rodents but
the groups are called "mobs" or "clans"
A mob
Meerkats live in groups called gangs that contain 20-30 members.
they are called a "colony"
GANG
meerkats give birth to around 4 live young
Meerkats protect their young by screaming out a signal if a predator is near young meerkats stay underground with an adult to keep them safe
Meerkats are placental mammals with a gestation period of around 70 days.
by protecting and playing with them
Yes they do. If they can not catch their prey they eat their young ones.
Alexander
Young meerkats are called pups.
No. Meerkats are placental mammals, meaning they give birth to live young. The only egg-laying mammals (monotremes) are platypuses and echidnas.
Paka mawe or Paka mwitu
There is usually a babysitter and if no one volunteers then the pups are forced to go.
Aleksandr Orlov & Sergei
Yes larger birds can eat them along with other Meerkats. If a Meerkat is young and is found by another gang they will eat it.
