ASK: What is the expected life of a meerkat?
Mick Kaczorowski: It depends. The meerkats that survive the longest are the dominant females. So if you're a dominant female you have the protection of your male and you're basically calling the shots. And so a dominant female could possibly live to almost 11 years old, but that's rare. Between 6 and 11 is the life span of a meerkat, if things go well.

Betsy: Are all of the meerkats that appear on the show domesticated? Born around people?
Mick Kaczorowski: We don't call them domesticated, but they're habituated. And the difference is that domesticated animals are pets and these meerkats are not pets. They're observed by scientists, filmmakers and other people so they're actually not afraid of human beings because they have this interaction and see human beings around them. But, they're not pets and they're not treated that way at all by the researchers and filmmakers. The meerkats are free to go anywhere they want in the whole Kalahari, and they travel through fences that allow them to go anywhere they want. So, these meerkats are, for all intents and purposes, wild, except they know human beings and know that human beings are not a threat.
