Animal Meerkats enjoy their family time in a burrow

Meerkats are characterised by a broad head, large eyes, a pointed snout, long legs, a thin tapering tail, and a brindled coat pattern. The head-and-body length is around 24–35 cm, and the weight is typically between 0.62 and 0.97 kg. They chatter when they're nervous, and they squeal when danger presents itself. Meerkats also use sounds to coordinate their hunting efforts. ... It may sound a bit off-putting, but meerkats are hardly the only mammals to mark their territory in such a manner.
