Member of the mongoose family (7)

I believe the answer is:

meerkat

(Other definitions for meerkat that I've seen before include "African mongoose often on two feet" , "Mongoose-like mongoose" , "Mongoose-like mammal of southern Africa" , "South African mongoose" , "Small mongoose of southern Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
