Meerkats inhabit dry savannas, deserts, and semi-deserts in the interior of South Africa. They protect themselves from the sun and predators by hiding in rock crevices, termite mounds, and burrows, sometimes using burrows made by other mammals or digging their own. Meerkats live in groups of up to 30 individuals with a strict social structure. The group is led by a dominant pair, which is usually the only pair that reproduces. If a subordinate female has offspring, it is up to the leading pair to decide if the young ones will survive. The dominant female may bully subordinate females, remove their young from the burrows, or even kill them. Meerkat diets include venomous snakes, spiders, and scorpions, as they are immune to their venom. The name 'meerkat' originates from French, where souris-chat means something like 'mouse-cat'.
