Meerkats dig using their strong, sharp claws to excavate soil and create burrows. They employ a combination of pawing and scooping motions, often working in teams to speed up the process. Their digging helps them find food, such as insects and roots, as well as create shelter from predators and harsh weather. Additionally, they can dig quickly and effectively, allowing them to escape threats by burrowing underground.
