The yellow mongoose (Cynictis penicillata), sometimes referred to as the red meerkat, is a small mammal averaging about 1 lb (1/2 kg) in weight and about 20 in (500 mm) in length. A member of the mongoose family, it lives in open country, from semi-desert scrubland to grasslands in Angola, Botswana, South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe, and Mayotte. [Wikipedia]
The meerkat or suricate, Suricata suricatta, is a small carnivoran belonging to the mongoose family (Herpestidae). It is the only member of the genus Suricata. 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. In captivity, meerkats have an average life span of 12–14 years, and about half this in the wild. [Wikipedia]
Yorkshire Wildlife Park (YWP) is an amazing place, I STRONGLY reccomend visiting, they have amazing animals such as the Lions rescued from Oradea Zoo in Romania, Amur Tigers, Amur Leopards, African Wild Dogs (although they weren't there when I visited sadly! ) Wallabies who you can stroke and meet, Lemur woods where you can walk amongst the ALemurs, and a POLAR BEAR who has just arrived (unfortunately after I had visited-BUT I'LL BE GOING AGAIN SOON)! It's a wonderful place, here's their website; www.yorkshirewildlifepark.com/
