Happy World Meerkat Day! #DidYouKnow meerkats live in large social groups called mobs and always work together to survive in the wild. Each meerkat plays a role in the survival of the mob - including hunting, digging for food/shelter, babysitting pups and taking turns acting as a lookout watching for predators. Meerkat mobs are the definition of #teamwork. | Indianapolis Zoo
