From http://www.meerkat.org/mammals/meerkat.html:
"Meerkats, though not the highest on the food chain, will eat many things. They'll mainly eat insects, small bugs like grubs or beetles, small mammals, scorpions, lizards, and some snakes. Meerkats, like most mongooses, have developed immunities to some animals' poisons and venoms (meerkats are specifically immune to scorpion venom.)"
Yeah, sounds about right....
Don't feel bad! I think they are adorable and very interesting. There is a meerkat named Yossarian on the Animal Planet show called Meerkat Manor. He has a few social problems-lol
Meerkat is a documentary/soap opera type show. It shows a troop of meerkats on their day to day activities and trials and tribilations.
Oh. For a minute there, I thought you were describing Fat Nat.
