Suricates are typical to the Kalahari.
Best to be watched in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Suricate Suricates belong to the mongoose family. Sometimes they are confused with ground squirrels, but their short and thin tails differentiate them. They are found in open territory, primarily in the dry savannah of South Africa and in the Kalahari. Suricates live in underground tunnels in groups of 10 to 20 animals.
