They have black round circle around their eyes to stop the sun shining onto their eyes.

bald eages and other birds of prey

i dont know but does any1 else hav de answer?

Yes larger birds can eat them along with other Meerkats. If a Meerkat is young and is found by another gang they will eat it.

Meerkats are in the rodent family.

More specifically...

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Herpestidae
Genus: Suricata
Species: S. Suricatta

There is usually a babysitter and if no one volunteers then the pups are forced to go.

a Meerkat has a body length of about 30cm plus there tail which can be about 20 cm giving it a total of 50cm (about 20-21in)

You can't really do anything. They can survive just like any other animal. With human help they may get used to us and start relying on us for things such as food. This could cause them to forget how the technique used for hunting and we would have to take care of them forever. Trying to help them could really be bad for them in the long run.

Meerkats live in southern africa where winters are still 70 degrees fahrenheit. It is the dry season for them but they do not hibernate or anything. In captivity, for instance at a zoo, the Meerkats are kept in their indoor habitat till it gets hot out again.

They have a symbiotic relationship with insects.

Shut Up! Do it yourself! Gosh! your smart, so you do it!

They live in Africa, mostly on land just outside or on the edge of a desert where they have sand to burrow in and scrubs and a few trees for safety.

No. It is not subsahran Africa.

no they live in more of a desert area

A low pitched series of barking sounds.

They go back into their burrows. When they are away from burrows they just have to run and hide hoping that a predator doesn't see them.

Meerkats have black patches round their eyes, these act like sunglasses.

Their long, curved claws make them excellent diggers which helps them to get at burrowing insects. Other structural adaptations include the colouration of their fur that helps camouflage them from predators.

Hope this is helpful.

They can go to about 7 feet down.

Meerkats are scared of anything that will eat them. Snakes and birds are two things that eat a lot of meerkats, so meerkats always have guards standing on their hind legs looking around for snakes, and looking up in the sky for hawks and eagles. Other predators include different kinds of cats (caracals and wildcats) and dogs (foxes and jackals). Like most animals, meerkats are also scared of anything that is unfamiliar, or that they don't recognize. The scientists who have been studying meerkats for the past few decades are now familiar to the animals, but if they do something unusual or bring in some odd new equipment, the meerkats will be scared. One scientist wrote about a time when his hat blew off of his head in a high wind - the meerkats thought the hat was something dangerous, and they all ran over to try to drive it away the same way they would attack a snake!

Meerkats live in all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, in much of the Namib Desert in Namibia and southwestern Angola, and in South Africa.

No. Meerkats are placental mammals, meaning they give birth to live young.

The only egg-laying mammals (monotremes) are platypuses and echidnas.

it dosent eat

Yes a Meerkat is a mammal, all mammals have backbones - they are vertebrates.

Rat milk from their mother is best, if you can't get that then you will have to make due with something else, like cow milk.
