Meerkat Hand Puppet - Hansa Creation

In everyday play, the meerkat hand puppet by Hansa Creation fits well into small story scenes. It can be used for storytelling, puppet theatre and role play. New scenes often develop quite naturally.

The meerkat (Suricata suricatta) belongs to the mongoose family and lives in southern Africa. In colonies of up to 30 animals, they share underground burrows. Famous for their upright sentinel pose, they keep watch for birds of prey and snakes. Meerkats are immune to certain scorpion venoms and feed on insects, spiders and small vertebrates.

Did you know that meerkat pups are raised by the entire group? So-called "babysitters" stay with the young while the parents forage — true teamwork in the desert.
