A front and rear view of two Slender Tailed Meercats.
The gray meerkat or suricate is a small mongoose. Its course hair is gray-brown to white-gray, often with a yellowish tinge. There are eight to ten brownish transverse bands on its back, and a dark ring surrounds each eye. The ears and the tip of the tail are black. Nose to tail tip, their maximum size is about 24 inches. Stockily built, with a narrow and pointed muzzle , it has a bulging forehead and very small rounded ears, which protrude only slightly from the fur and are set quite low on the animal's head .
