Meerkats
are immune to the poison from a scorpion or a snake.
A
meerkat can dig through a quantity of sand equal to
its own weight in just seconds.
Meerkats
take turns "standing watch" for predators
since they might be a tasty prey for carnivores—jackals,
eagles, and falcons.
Meerkats
band together in numbers to frighten off predators many
times their size.
The
meerkat uses its tail for balance.
