Get to Know the meerkats
Native to southern Africa, meerkats are small members of the mongoose family known for their upright stance and social behavior.
At the Honolulu Zoo, all meerkats are males to protect Hawai‘i’s fragile ecosystem. They feed mainly on insects and small animals, live in tight-knit groups, and can live up to 12 years in captivity.
Curious, alert, and full of character, they’re a visitor favorite and a reminder of the Zoo’s commitment to conservation and education.
