Meerkat
The Meerkat belongs to the mongoose family and live in all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana - in much of the Namib Desert in Namibia and southwestern Angola - and in South Africa.
A group of meerkats is called a "mob", "gang" or "clan". A meerkat clan often contains about 20 meerkats, but some super-families have 50 or more members.
In captivity, meerkats have an average life span of 12–14 years, whilst only about half this in the wild.
