Help, I'm stuck!
Meerkats are such fun animals to watch, giving such wonderful poses, especially when a group of them are standing on their hind legs, stretching as tall as they can. At the Calgary Zoo, a number of them are youngsters and they are so cute. There was a very long, empty, cardboard (?) tube in their enclosure and one little one was determined to try and squeeze into it. I really thought it was going to get stuck inside, but each time it managed to back out of it, thank goodness. Probably not easy to get a firm footing on a slippery cardboard surface, compared to a dirt burrow.
"The meerkat or suricate, Suricata suricatta, is a small mammal belonging to the mongoose family. Meerkats live in all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, in much of the Namib Desert in Namibia and southwestern Angola, and in South Africa. A group of meerkats is called a "mob", "gang" or "clan". A meerkat clan often contains about 20 meerkats, but some super-families have 50 or more members. Meerkats have an average life span of 12–14 years."
