Magic meerkat moments - BBC 

It's so funny ..

I'm so glad this reappears in my recommendations from time to time. The whiskers. THE WHISKERS. 🤣🤣🤣

And then one of the camera men builds a tree stand. Meerkats: MINE MINE MINE!

hahha..

Hahaha 😅😅

🤣🤣🤣

Haha! Oh that's a good one!

More like hunting for their next hit.

What kinda weed ? Sells u laced angel dust

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That's an interesting thought: that by being there filming them in what's supposed to be a neutral way, they are becoming part of the meerkats' way of life. So it's not neutral anymore, and... Oh, what a headache, I'm gonna lie down.

@@miguelbranquinho7235If you consider humans are a natural product of the planet and part of nature, even though our presence might seem "artificial" - in the sense that we have have technology and an intellect that places us far outside the fight for survival like most wild animals - we're still very much a part of the natural world. The same way a clam might synthesise minerals into pearls, humans have simply figured out how to synthesise natural materials into all manner of fantastic shapes and purposes, from early stone tools to modern fuels and electricity, complete with the technology that brings. It's all still taking place within the framework of a natural world with natural minerals and processes, we've just harnessed them to an extreme degree. The only way humans and our actions could be see as "unnatural" would be if our origins were interstellar and not native to planet Earth... right?

@@ChainsawGutsFuck Well said, agreed.

@@miguelbranquinho7235 I take it you get Migraines also?

@@shawncollier571 No it was a goof, a gag.

I know! I love how people from other cultures throw shade at each other lol. That was brilliant

​@@robb4951it was a joke about the director having a big ass idk what ur on about

I wonder if his buddy is still on good terms with him after that remark.

I think he meant he's got a fat ass lol

Thick boy

😂😂😂

@@Lugnut-uv7ff don't google that

that’s some ssshhhade he’s throwing himself by saying that

Yeah!! Well! u've gotta look out for pee pee and poo poo 😂😂

Yea untill they poo on you lol 😐

Till it spots a tiger right? Cus its not going to say "tiger" it will just go down its burrow

@@zahmbohddie4004 haha but sadly there is no tiger in africa 😂😂😂

Use me as your watchtower daddy 😩

The man's dead?

@@Bjorn.andresprobably the meerkat

​@@Bjorn.andresFlower Whisker is her full name. She is the dominant female of the colony that Swift was born into. She was born in 2000 and died in 2007 after a bite from a Cape Cobra. You see her in "Meerkat Manor" which follows the lives of several families of Meerkats including the Whiskers for four seasons.

​@@ayakotami3318that just breaks my heart 💔

@@pumpedupbro4200 the cobra is still alive but is now retired.

MyHotdogWeiner 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, bc humans dont sit on your head xD

Your avatar 😂

Meercats would be invading my personal space. But I'd trust them more than people. At least they are honest

@@recoveringsoul755 How are Meercats more honest when they aren't even required to be honest and probably don't have a concept of honesty

The hakuna matata got me 💀

😂😂😂😂😂

Truth is, sadly: Humans ARE dangerous. And thus it is actually good for them to think so, because there is a LOT of sick people out there....

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'd like to think that wild animals don't need our protection but only our absence. Especially those poachers.

SergeantSilly 😂😂 aw that made me smile

Free real estate

I like your brain

Hahaha

Is that a fitz reference?!

those meerkats are quite brave but as the commentary said they were used to humans from scientists studying them

Yes

@@stuartpratt3662 yup, it's similar to how birds will sometimes use large herd animals as roosting spots. If don't register you as a threat, competition, or food. You're essentially a non-static part of the terrain for them.

Look before the hyena comes

(⌐■-■)

Weird seeing someone talk about my home province of Ontario on a RU-vid video that isn't political 😄

Mood

😂

Laughs in meerkat

good point

Gus Alcon Hahaha

Masked Ou's to scout from

They’ll make a good scouting perches and we can unleash them on the predators 🤣🤣🤣

It's the same thing Timon did with Simba lol

Documenting Jeremy's family

Same 😁😃😄

Oh boy this made me laugh so hard

Gorillaz is a great band, would be very difficult to support them all over your head

I m laughing hard

Ok

@@koudjes6670 ok

Literally

It is bro

it's like my pet rat. She asks me to pick her up to get to high places.

@@Stormy2021x Oh my God! I just wanted to write it in comments. My two rats sit on shoulders and observe, but sometimes they cutely stand up on my toes (gaining only few cm), as I am sometimes sitting on my bed.

BackOffMehMemez I only wish the are more people around the world like those lads!! Bless you guys

kanuk Haha yeah it's perfect

kanuk your comment makes me smile even more than the video

Cheetahs do the same thing~ Once they get used to the camera crews, they hop up onto the Jeeps and cars and use them as mobile survey platforms. ^w^

Kawaiiiiiii! X3

😂😂

@@alexisgrunden1556 i know this is two years late but I love your profile picture, Luna moths are my favourite kind of moth 💖

Someone should tell him they all carry rabies!!!!

Yes! Finally!😅👏🏻🤣

What a trip 😂

It's all fun and games until we are forced to bow down and worship the giant.

Kill the wise one

👏👏👏👏👏

underrated comment 😂😂😂😂

ja

How does this have no comments except for mine?

@@t-roy524 U aint alone

cringe

they're not allowed to touch or feed the meerkats because humans aren't meant to be there in the first place so they turned into statues

@@ghyul6263 isn't that just a rule that they have agreed on in the terms of being a cameraman

fair compensation for the disturbance.

Compare the market

the explanation mark ruined it

I was your 1000th like. You're welcome

@@TheAntiEggroll Thanks dude! :D

Gold!

thoses jokes still exists ? wow, people are less funny than i thought

@@zomkino no u

Some THICC shade XD

"EXCUSE ME MADAM, I BELIEVE SEVERAL MEERKAT COULD BE SHADED BY YOUR SUBSTANTIAL BUTTOCKS"

I think Godfrey and or Jaboody films can impersonate this viciously silly.

Эта малышня не боится человека?!!залез на голову.. конечно, от туда обзор лучше !

i hope of them went up to him and say "Hakunamatata!"

There may be some in a zoo/wildlife park near you; I saw a group of them in a wildlife park here in Kent, England (near Canterbury I think it was), about 15 years ago I think. They seemed to be thriving.

😂 😂 😂

Lmao this comment tho 😅😅

😂

I laughed so hard

Or a compliment. Depending on your perspective.

Lmao 😂

All those people around them and they are still paranoid lol

Paul Davis tbh the camera crew doesn’t defend them nor attack them so it’s understandable that they would still be paranoid lol. But if the crew started to defend them against other predators I wonder if that would change.

Lol😂😂

@@pauldavis5518 I wheezed

No, u dont want them to sit on your head

Wow, congratulations on watching the exact same video as the rest of us.

@@eviljoel congratulations on being a dickhead for no good reason😉

i hope of them went up to him and say "Hakunamatata!"

holy crap it's been that long?!?

It’s crazy now that Swift is the matriarch of the Whiskers now 😊

10 years now

@@bobbybush1750 yep and it still warms my heart.

oh

Good one XD

I wouldn't took shade there, the last time I did it blows some nasty wind. Must be a dead rat in there or something.

I’m trying to film the meerkats, but I’m dummy thick and the shadow of my ass cheeks keeps drawing them in.

@@CherryRedBanshee LMFAO

Lol how you roast your friend like that on National TV? He knows he didn't have a microphone to respond 🤣

OMG SAME LOOOOL

I literally read that while it came to part lol

Same 😂

I was thinking the same :D

Lol Know your place, furniture!

The director isn't the only one throwing shade...

I’m pretty sure we all heard that but thanks for the quote I guess?

@@fezzik7619 take your boring outta here. This is a no-lame-zone.

Pls share link if you can recall which documentary it was? Sounds super cute & super trusting

Omg, yes, link pleeeeease!

They trust humans? That's like us.

LINK. NOW 😔

Send the link or it's a lie 😏

But you aren’t able to pet the animals, you just have to sit there while the animal sniffs and runs beside you

@@BRJCLIPS That's fine. I'm not fussy.

I- how does being a cameraman make one immortal?

@@rainbowruler6453 That's kind of a joke. In catastrophe/horror movies, the person who always survives is the cameraman. ;)

@@Swarzec_Swarzewski Bet, seems legit

😂😂😂

I was thinking the same thing 😅

Such generous benevolent buttocks !

@@mteokay1246 ha ha

My exact thought 😂

...and the cameraman will capture how majestic i am."

Same here! It's my dream.

Dude... Did anyone notice Ted Bundy just stabbed that guy?

Akelo Same!

Myth Fury 🥺

@Myth Fury You are right this is pretty empty, lets fill it up

Uhhh

This is perfect. I can imagine a meerkat in a green vest and a mic saying this

@@liyangajay8621 He needs a little safari hat and khakis plus a little tent and some folding chairs in front! It is funny to see our own behavior through animal eyes. Meercats are so cute. I wish they would show the episodes in order, it's like a nature soap opera.

@@HisWordisLife4U omg you're killing me. Something like lion King. But the series is about meerkat scientists studying about humans and behind the scenes of the study.

@@liyangajay8621 Yes. We need to make the movie. Animal scientists who study people. It would be pretty funny but we have to develop some kind of plot that idea in itself is pretty thin alone. :)

Bailey S well put 😂

I hate to admit it, but mine's bigger. And I'm a guy!

@@Corvus__ Go find a meerkat, lad - pronto!

@@narendrapanse7844 None here in Florida. 😞

@Jiminy Cricket Don't know much about them or there behavior.

He pretty much called the director T H I C C

It's called insecurity masked by sarcasm

😏 nice

that WAS some substantial shade 😂

Thicc

Mark Davidson This comment is completely unappreciated 😂😂😂

Just 3 turns?

Cardfight Vanguard

XD "Yay! Guy I got one!"

Mee too, smoll and cute😂

I guess you are confused between otters and meerkats.

@@pankaj3601 otter is usually in water

Small and adorable🥰

The thing is it's always zoomed in so everytime I see meerkats which are filmed by bbc earth or any other such companies, I always think it's around 1m tall.

I will use this on my test tomorrow. I hope teach understand it.

Also, if they get into a territory dispute, it looks like they have giants backing them up.

Truely Me good luck 👌😂

Not to mention the meerkats would have the ultimate protection from virtually any predator. Having a human in their corner would boost their survival for sure.

@@thefisherman0074 The cameramen are likely strictly forbidden from interfering, short of potential harm to a crew member. But yeah, I imagine the smell and presence of humans deters a lot of predators from even considering it. Especially opportunists like Jackals, who would see it as a greater risk.

The Shitstorm Starter They stand erect just like *Homo Erectus* 😂

@@thephenom9881 i stand corrected

Em Em Now I get you. You also stand *erected* . 😂

@@thephenom9881 exactly! I'm glad we've been able to erect an extraordinary communication

@@The-Cat Wow that's great & absolutely true. *What an erect communication* ! 👍

Even as powerful as humans are there not actually considered apex predators. Are strength is below average for our size as a mammal, we don’t have sharp teeth, we can’t run insanely fast, we’re an omnivore. We use tools and strategy in order to rule over the animal kingdom

@@bigfloppa5731 we can craft and use tools, that's why human *are* apex predators

ŚparrowYT actually our innate physical ability is much better than you think. For instance we have the highest running endurance of any other mammal. No seriously we can outrun horses, wolves, deer. Not run FASTER than them, but for longer. In fact in some less developed countries people still do this, they chase down an animal till the animal gets tired. It’s just that humans overtime have gotten lazier and lazier due to technology, and we no longer naturally build muscle we now rely on weights and other “faster” methods. Not to mention all the genetically modified foods were forced to eat. It’s really our own fault we’re no longer able to physically compete with animals.

CruiseCraft YT technology has barely been around and we haven’t evolved to become slower or anything like that that just people being fat

ŚparrowYT well not necessarily just that. Our bodies have adapted to our newer and much more convenient life styles. We no longer have to all maintain farms and do a bunch of physical work. Even the way we build muscle has changed. Rather than naturally building muscle we force our bodies into it at the gym. So yeah all that accumulates over time and as our bodies adapt to those circumstances... yeah we do literally become slower.

Es Richard Hammond just did that

Wasn't really all that secret.

No, he just called him fat

'Substantial butt'...yes he did.

Haha! yes and it was brilliant

Meerkats domesticate humans!

That is actually what they are thinking. So that they can spot a predator as far away as possible.

It’s free real estate
