Meerkat

Scientific name
Suricate suricatta

Meerkat means "lake cat" in Dutch, but it is a relative of the mongoose. The way they stand on high ground and look around is a sentry behavior to protect the flock from predators. They are omnivorous, eating insects, snakes, scorpions, etc.

Although they look cute, they still have sharp claws and fangs for hunting. They look cute when they're sleeping, but they look very wild when they're eating!
