The Meerkat, or Suricate, really might as well be a Mongoose. The two share the same family, and are both capable of nonpareil, æon-defining displays of distilled savagery. We {I} would not recommend as a strategy A): provoking them, in any way whatsoever, or B): wandering into any sort of proximity-persuasioned scenario with them. They **Will** turn on you. Their sheer "displays" alone have left more than a few moribund victims in their wake. If they really happen to shift gears and attack, body parts of whomsoever is on the receiving end will find (or would, were they in any condition to do so) body parts strewn/flung into a variety of different area codes. This cheers the likes of blood-spatter analysts, and such, but if you, sir, there, have in mind the continuation of your body in a structurally-intact format, taking heed of the above might be of some assistance.
