Meerkat - not a cat at all

We have fingerprints that are individual to each of us, but meerkats have stripe patterns that make them unique. The meerkat is a type of mongoose—think Timon in the Disney movie “The Lion King.” Animal Planet has a show about the real animals called “Meerkat Manor.” Here's a video of a mob of meerkats chasing off a snake.

I might run, too, if I had that big a group chasing me!
