Meerkat Eating Scorpion
Meerkats are primarily insectivores, but also eat scorpions, spiders, lizards, snakes, millipedes, centipedes, plants, eggs, small mammals and, more rarely, small birds. They are partially immune to certain venoms; they are immune to the very strong venom of the scorpions of the Kalahari Desert, unlike humans.
