Animal: Meerkats

Habitat:
The meerkat is found exclusively on the semiarid plains of southern Africa. It avoids woodland and dense vegetation, preferring to live among the scrub. At night, the meerkat retires to a network of burrows witch it digs with its powerful forelegs. The burrows may be as deep as 10 feet. Sometimes the burrows are shared with other animals such as the ground squirrel and yellow mongoose. In rocky ground, the meerkat will make its den in the crevices between the rocks.
food:
Meerkats are insectivores. They feed on insects, also on other invertebrates, mice, eggs, small birds, lizards and snakes.
Meerkats are often kept about homes in South Africa to kill rats and mice.
