What do you call a group of meerkats?

Timon from "The Lion King" gave most people their first introduction to meerkats, but that laid-back, "no worries" lifestyle would get a real meerkat killed.

Correct Answer: A mob
(Source)One meerkat standing on its hind legs at the zoo is adorable. Twenty of them lined up for battle is a different story entirely. Meerkat mobs can include up to 50 members, all led by an alpha female who produces about 80% of the pups. When two mobs' territories overlap, both sides literally line up, charge at each other with tails straight up, arch their backs, and thrust their legs backward like bucking broncos. "Hakuna matata" doesn't really apply when your neighbors want to murder your children.
