The family life of meerkats

Meerkats are active and social animals, they live in groups that can include as many as 30 individuals. Groups are called mobs, and each mob may consist of up to three families living together.

Each family group consists of a breeding pair and their offspring. Meerkats care for their family members, members have rotating designated roles, stand upright on rocks or termite mounds—using their tails for stability—and scan the horizon for predators such as hawks, eagles, or jackals. Meerkats sleep in a single furry pile. They are considered one of the most cooperative mammals on the planet.
