Clan of the Meerkat looks into the close-knit lives of a meerkat family of five living in the hostile Namib Desert in Africa, west of the better-known Kalahari Desert. Here the family, after losing many of its members to predators the previous year, must rely on co-operation in order to survive and raise their precious pups.
