Fun Facts About Meerkats!

I would love to know the real story here. I love meerkats too,

I don’t think that’s quite the way to climb to appear taller. Meerkat on top needs to reread the instruction manual!

Its like a Voltron fail.

And now I have that image in my head. Instead of lions, MEERKATS!!! And I bet Allein can find that image and post it.

  Sadly, Voltron Meerkat did not find me anything along the lines you describe.
  
  (As for my earlier comment, I also did not find anything for three meerkats in a trench coat.)

Does anyone else think their cheeks are overstuffed with food? Packing snacks, just in case…
