Description Interesting Fact:

- Meerkats can and will survive a scorpion or snake bite because they are naturally immune to the poison.

Thanks so much!! xP And yeah... though I would too if I was an animal that lives in a habitat that's not supposed to get that much snow.

haha that's very true. I don't think I'd like being around that much snow if I was used to warm weather

I can imagine, yea... it's basically saying the poison doesn't affect them, but how strong the bite is would still hurt them.

Never seen meerkats in the snow before. That's got to be a first.

Also, I didn't know that about meerkats! That's an interesting fact.

Yeah, it was weird for me too, but it was in Michigan so I guess I should have guessed. I think they weren't too happy about the snow either though.
