Meerkats

• By Nicole Kreuz

Habitat

• Meerkats live in the Kalahari desert in Botswana
  and in South Africa

3
Animal

• Meerkats come from the mongoose family. They grow
  to be about 1 to 2 ft tall, they have curved
  claws that are used for digging burrows
  underground, and also have a long, thin tail that
  is 17 to 24 cm long.

What they eat

• Meerkats eat bugs, roots, fruit, and eggs but
  they will eat just about anything

Their habitat

• If I was creating a habitat for a meerkat in the
  zoo I would make sure that there was rocks and
  sand so that they could make a burrow
  underground. I would also make sure that the
  temperature was the same as the desert and I
  would make sure that there is water in their new
  habitat.
