    We also call them rooimeerkat knowing full well they aren't meerkat.

    If I would have to make a distinction between them and meerkat forgetting looks for a second, I would say there are a lot smarter.

    In some older books the Afrikaans name is actually given as rooimeerkat though, as you say, it is not a meerkat nor related to meerkat (suricate). Local names can be really confusing.

    Highly entertaining to watch foraging, especially when there's young ones around.
