Information

Erdmännchen sind sehr kleine Mangusten. Ihre Kopfrumpflänge beträgt 30 Zentimeter, hinzu kommen 25 Zentimeter eines glatten, nicht buschigen Schwanzes. Die Fellfarbe ist, je nach Unterart, grau, beige oder hellbraun. Acht bis zehn schwarze Querstreifen laufen von der Wirbelsäule zu den Flanken, bedecken aber nicht den Kopf und den Schwanz. Die Augen sind von einer schwarzen Fellzeichnung umgeben. An den Vorderbeinen haben Erdmännchen besonders verlängerte Krallen, die ihnen das Graben im Sand ermöglichen.

English by swenson:
'The meerkat is a small diurnal herpestid (mongoose) weighing on average about 731 grams (1.61 pounds) for males and 720 grams (1.58 pounds) for females. Its long slender body and limbs give it a body length of 25 to 35 cm (10 to 14 inches) and an added tail length of 17 to 25 cm (7 to 10 inches). Its tail is not bushy like all other mongoose species, but is rather long and thin and tapers to a black or reddish colored pointed tip. The meerkat uses its tail to balance when standing upright. Its face tapers, coming to a point at the nose, which is brown. The eyes always have black patches around them, which help deflect the sun's glare. The meerkat has small black crescent-shaped ears that can close when digging to keep sand out. Like cats, meerkats have binocular vision, a large peripheral range, depth perception, and eyes on the front of their faces.
