to protect it from sun burn
Meer kats only live in part of the Kalahari Desert i think. they live in burrows underground with five houses in each tunnel
no they have dosens of branches and numerous might sleep in one and only singles might sleep in others and they dont just use one section they sleep all over the burrow.
No, meerkats do not hibernate. Meerkats are diurnal animals, which means they are active during the day and rest at night. They have a high metabolism and need to forage for food regularly, so they do not go into a state of hibernation like some other animals do during the winter months.
In the wild, most meerkats live in areas uninhabited by people, so they are not considered a pest. The only exception may be with farmers; meerkats have the potential to cause a lot of damage to property (such as crops) with their strenuous digging.
No they only sleep on trees
Meerkats are only 12 inches high so their paws should be around an inch and a half including their long nails for digging.
Yes. They have baby meerkats. (There are only two mammals in the world that lay eggs, the Platypus and the Echidna). Baby meerkats are called "pups" and they usually have a litter of up to five pups. Three tends to be the most common number of births.
That'd only be applicable to meerkats in zoos. And zoos will often feed animals several times a day to keep them occupied.
No, only full meerkats do. But you can up their chances by putting Folgers in their cup. America runs on Dunkin. Have it your way! We love to see you smile ;]
Meerkats not only have tails, their tails are almost as long as their bodies! Meerkats use their long tails for balance: They stand on their hind legs and put their tail down on the ground, making their own tripod of sorts.When a meerkat fights for dominance, its tail goes up--perhaps to make it look bigger and fiercer. When meerkats run, their tails go up, too--perhaps so other meerkats in the mob can see where the leader is headed.
While off scrounging for food, the adults leave their young with a couple "babysitters" who are on guard, watching. Usually the only young that survives is the young from the alpha female. All the others are killed by the alpha female.
The meerkats habitat is in south africa in savannah grass land areas where there is not much rain. They dig burrows in the ground,so they choose places where the ground is hard so their tunnels don't collapse. p.s. I am cooleo
