Meercats compete with what animal for food?

Answer 1

A typical Meerkat's diet consists of worms, crickets, grasshoppers, small rodents, lizards, small snakes, birds, eggs, fruit, and ant larvae (which they especially love). When foraging for food they spread out to get the most out of their area and when they find a meal they usually eat it on the spot since they're in such small portions. So Meerkats must compete against one another in a sense in order to find a meal. Other than that their competition is against any other Kalahari Desert inhabitants that eat the same things they do. Nearly every other species that lives in the same area as the Meerkat competes for the same food. The Meerkats have the advantage of numbers, a great sense of smell, amazing digging abilities, and the unbelievable immunity to most venom. If I had to specify, I'd say snakes were their toughest competition when it comes to getting a meal, even though the snake often becomes the meal.

Answer 2

well tbh they eat just about anything, they eat fruit, roots,eggs, bugs, (termites, beetles, &grubs etc..) and meerkats also like to eat scorpions but they sometimes get stung. They eat alot of things humans do :)

Answer 3

Meerkats primarily eat insects, but sometimes they also eat Spiders, eggs, lizards, or plants. They also eat scorpions since they are immune to it's poison.

Answer 4

not exactly, they mainly east grass and roots, but they also eat bugs and insects.

Answer 5

Meerkats face competition for food primarily from other carnivores such as jackals, eagles, and snakes. They may also compete with other herbivores like antelopes for resources in their environment.
