Why do meerkats all live together?

Answer 1

Meerkats have many predators such as snakes, martial eagles, jackals and other rival meerkat mobs.So therefore meerkats have big mobs tp protect themselves.It is like I scratch your back you scratch mine.If one meerkat protects another meerkat like when it is sleeping then that meerkat will return the favour.Everyone is always on watch for predators and various alarm calls mean different predators.A meerkat mob is like a giant family with the alpha female being at the head of it all.the alpha female does most of the breeding and meerkats are very social animals.

To conclude meerkats live together so then they can protect ceach other and they are very social creatures so they do not fight often unless it is rival meerkats.
