A meerkat is part of the mongoose family. They live in all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana and South Africa. They live in clans of twenty to fifty meerkats and live from twelve to fourteen years. The most famous meerkat is perhaps Timon from Disney's The Lion King.
A family group of meerkats can be called a 'mob', 'gang' or 'clan'. These groups usually contain around 20 meerkats but sometimes have as many as 50. Meerkats live on average 7 - 10 years in the wild, and 12 - 14 years in captivity. Adult meerkats are about 25 - 35 cm (9.8 - 13.8 in) tall when standing upright. The meerkat uses its tail to balance when standing upright.
