Many of the meerkats featured in Meerkat Manor and Meerkat Manor: The Story Begins were played by multiple "actors" or given alias names. These alterations were made to reduce the complexity of the show, allowing viewers to keep track of characters easier. Below is a list of each character from the show and their associated actors and/or real names. Each character is listed under the name of the group they went by on the show (which are not neccessarily their real groups).
