However, here are some examples of what "meerkat" translates to in different African languages:
* Swahili: *Ng'ombe mdogo* (literally "small cow," a humorous term)
* Zulu: *Isuka*
* Xhosa: *Isuka*
* Afrikaans: *Mierkat* (this is the Dutch name, which is widely used in South Africa)
If you're interested in a specific language, please let me know and I can try to find the translation for you.
