Where do merkats live?
Meerkats are native to the deserts of southern Africa, primarily found in countries such as Botswana, Namibia, Angola, and South Africa. They live in underground burrows and are highly social animals, often living in groups known as mobs or clans. Meerkats are well adapted to the arid conditions of their habitat, with keen eyesight and a strong sense of smell to help them hunt for food and stay alert for predators.
