Because it greatly improves their chances of survival to be close to other Meerkats. A meerkat can't really survive on their own as they can't keep watch and eat food at the same time.
There are other survival behaviors undertaken in groups, such as keeping warm and grooming.

∙ 13y agoThey can survive on there own, if they go wandering off on there own they can still survive but they have to be extra careful of predators. Also they have no one else to groom them when they are alone so they can not get rid of things like ticks. A meerkat has a very low chance of survival alone, They get very cold in the night alone. They are usually abandoned by there family for breeding when they are not the alpha female. They usually can't survive very long alone.
