Meek Rats

By Edwin Tan (c) 2010

No. Meerkats. Meerkats. Now, say it with me: Meerkats.

Meek rats are an entirely different species of animal. They are like normals rats but somewhat milder in manner and humbler in spirit. See figure 1 below:

Meerkats, on the other hand, are a more gregarious mammal who have seen a recent proliferation in the mass media. They have appeared on advertisements for car insurance and even star in their own reality television show. See figure 2 below:

So the next time you take an overpriced trip to the animal prison, remember: it's meerkats. There. Simples.
