The meerkat may be called a catBut I can't tell you why.It's really just an animal That's very, very spry.This picture book describes, in rhyming verse, fun facts about the meerkat, a small animal found largely in Southwestern Africa. All pictures were taken at Chehaw Wild Animal Park in Albany, Georgia, by the author, Ritchey Marbury.The meerkat weighs about two poundsAnd just a foot or lessIs all the length it's body has;It's small I must confess.
