@@MsMrapplepie Especially those 'exotic & endangered species' eater. Gosshh why did these ppl exist. Can't they just stick to readily-available menu(chicken,fish,cow)??
Dereenaldo Ambun Apparently not. They think it’s a game, and now they’re suffering for it. Bat soup? Really? A bat has no meat on its body and obviously has no real nutritional value yet they eat that nasty shit anyways. It blows my mind.
Yeah, they are absolutely awesomely adorable. Thank you photographers for giving us 'city folks' such a treat. It's gotta be hard refraining from wanting to cuddle & pet them.
Quite smart of them really, they probably have observed enough to know that they are less likely to get picked off of a human than a tree from a bird of prey so a human is a somewhat safer sentry perch.
😀exactly, we think they're adorable, partly because they're no threat to us, but I'll bet the local lizards, scorpions, & bugs have a different opinion of these voracious little hunters
Johnny Threefour well you might think those things are cute becuase that's what came to YOUR mind when thinking of something cute but I think of dogs and meerkats
@@johnnythreefour2902 I don't understand. What does "loving cute animals" has anything to do with "being gay" ? They are two different things, aren't they?
At one point do we acknowledge that cuteness has become a survival trait when in proximity to humans? If you're cute, not only will most humans not threaten you, but they'll actively try to protect cute animals from dangerous ones.
Hi Wil, One of our members over at liveleak.com has shared your video on our website and we'd like to feature it on our front page, but for that it needs to be uploaded directly. i'd appreciate if you could get back to me as soon as possible. i left a message on your website with my phone number and email.

Wildlife Photography is a wonderful profession. Its so peaceful, requires patience, dedication, no alteration with nature, just mesmerising moments being captured.
Как природа облагораживает человека.Какой огромный положительный эмоциональный заряд получил фотограф от нескольких минут прямого общения с этими забавными зверьками.А благодаря ему, и мы.Большое спасибо.
I have a little 1 1/2 year old Dachshund that sits up like this for long periods much of the time, he is not begging but just seems comfortable in that 'pose'. Such a darling sight he makes even the worst days a little more light hearted and crankiest folks smile, he has been compared to a meercat several times! God bless you!
@@johoreanperson8396 Humans used to hunt elephant's in the ice age and in the past, and they also kinda domesticated mastodons. Hunting elephants is nothing new tbh
Well if a male rhino or a female rhino with a baby spot you they will try to charge and kill you if your in their territory Violence towards other species isn't a one way street
Camera: probs costs in the thousands and is made to capture the highest quality of photos Meerkats: stands on it as a lookout post Camera: *am I a joke to you?*
How......how can you resist cuddling, hugging, petting, and holding these baby meerkats?! I couldn't do it. I simply could not. There's just too much cute. Cute level 90000000000000.
Will, I've been following your emails for a year or two and love all the photos and write-ups you publish. This meerkat vid is an instant favorite. I will share this with my young kids who are sure to ooh and ahh! Thanks for posting!
I can see why they're his favourite animal, they're so adorable and inquisitive. My favourite animal is a hyena but I wouldn't want one that close me. 😂❤🥰
Meerkats for the win :) Amazing to see them taking no notice of you at all, must have been a wonderful experience being so close with these wonderful little creatures :)
I go.... aww and immediately press the like button. I'm sure no one can resist loving this little obnoxious and mischievious but curious and cute creatures.
The best picture I have ever seen : two worlds hit together for the most hilarious and - philosophical? - result. Humans ! listen to that meerkat! It shows us humans how we could be at peace with animals for ever.. Our worlds are not contradictory...
Not only have they learned that certain humans are no threat or even make an excellent observation post, they've probably also learned that being near a human probably scares away a great many potential predators. So not only are they great to stand upon, they're a safe haven.
OMG......what an amazing experience, spending time with these amazing animals, so up close. Looks like they consider you as part of the family. How awesome is that !!!!
I love it!!I have a Maltese dog named JB n each morning I come downstairs to greet him he ALWAYS stands on his hind legs like a meerkat. I call JB my meerkat. He also motions with his paws. He quite often likes to stand on his hind legs and he's good at it. LOL...
I just love keeping up with the two of you! You guys are brilliant! I especially love your beetle cam shots! As soon as the first came out I just wanted one of those beetle cam's SO BAD! STILL WANT ONE! You guys are AWESOME! Thanks so much for all of your lovely photography and for sharing it so generously with the world!
