Us meerkats, or suricate Suricata suricatta are a small mammal and a member of the mongoose family. We inhabit all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana and South Africa. A group of us meerkats is called a "mob", "gang", or "clan". A meerkat clan often contains around 20 meerkats at a time, but some superfamilies have had 50 or more. Us meerkats have an average life span of 12-14 years. However, this lifespan can be reduced dramatically by the nefarious activities of that dogshit pair of "folk-comedy" wankers, Cracktown. How anybody could anally defile anything half as cute as what we are is beyond us. We REALLY don't like them very much...
