Meerkats are called Meerkats because they look like cats and they are called a type of meer. So that's why they call Meerkats, Meerkats.
people in tribes in places where meerkats are found in, hunt them for their pelts and usually eat the meat, so they don't waste the animal to show respect for wildlife
Meerkats are native to Southern Africa, so no.
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.
Meerkats often benefit from commensalism with birds like the white-backed vulture. Meerkats rely on the vultures to provide early warning signals of potential predators, while the vultures benefit from the meerkats' ability to locate food sources.
Because they look cool and seems so human like in many of their activities.

hawks and owls that are big enough to pick them up and carry them away.
Sergei is a very clever meerkat, so he managed to make people want to compare meerkats. Aleksandr has very good advertising skills, so people want to compare meerkats even more! Also because it makes 'compare the muskrat' seem awful
people like halo so much because now that you can get it on xbox360 and go online and vs other people.
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.
