Meerkats can survive in the desert because of the food supply there. Meerkats eat bugs, like beetles, centipedes, millipedes, and other gross bugs. Also, if it gets too hot, there are trees waiting to give them shade. At night, many predators are out and it is very cold, so mmerkats huddle together in an underground burrow to keep warm.
