What type of predeter can eat a meerkat?

Predators of meerkats include, but are not limited to, birds of prey such as owls, hawks, and eagles, large snakes, and jackals. To protect themselves from predators, a meerkat pack has numerous escape holes scattered around their territory. While the pack is out foraging, at least one member attentively watches for predators. They often climb on a tree stump, rock, or other elevated place and stand on two legs to get a good view of not only the ground, but also the sky in case a bird of prey shows up. If a predator is spotted, the 'sentinel' gives an alert call and the whole pack runs to the nearest safety hole. However, if a snake is spotted, a meerkat pack will try to mob it and chase it away. Meerkats are more immune to snake venom then most mammals, but some snakes, such as the puff adder, are still very dangerous to them.
