How does a meerkat adapt the desert?

Meerkats are perfect animals to be living in a desert. Meerkats have a hard time keeping their body temperature at a suitable rate, so they rely on the warm temperatures of the desert. The dark circles around meerkats' eyes are like sunglasses, being that a meerkat can look almost directly into the sun to look for predators.
