    I visited a Swedish zoo where we got to meet the meerkats and even hand feed them a little bit of cat food.
    It's just an amazing feeling to feel those little paws on your hand and have them climbing on you literally. That's why I love meerkats, and even lemurs.
    They're not afraid to interact with humans.😊

    The pups are so adorable. What a great family unit.

    this series is so incredible. such an incredible and great response to the coronavirus disaster. i can't thank you enuf for this series. i love this zoo so much and i have never been there but i am so invested in all of you, especially in this time of tribulation for us. i am invested in all the animals and all the workers there i can't tell you how much. you have fiona to thank for me getting to know this zoo. someday when this is over im going to meet them in person. all of them. this series is so great. brilliant idea keeping your audience despite these tragic events of social distancing, quarantine and etc. the footage is so great. spending time with the animals with them so unselfconscious about our presence is just so incredible. and i am so happy for them they have such a groovy pad and a soft low pressure life. lucky guys as long as the food holds up. god help us all get through this pandemic so we can take care of our animals, our loved ones, take care of the planet with love.

    I fell in love with meerkats the first time I saw them. That wasn’t until the mid eighties, but they fascinate me. I love their mob-bond...that’s a new phrase you can use...Mob~Bond! I have see a couple of great documentaries starring meerkats. And of course who could leave out Timon who’s favorite bugs were the, quote,unquote, Cream Filled Ones, lol. You have a great mob of ‘kats and I can see they think your pretty special too!! Who ever thought there could be competition to vie for the most love💕 I am sooo jealous! Keep up the great work Mob Mama❤️ PS They definitely deserve their own emoji!! 🦗🦗🦗

    My cat Castillo LOVED this video!!
    I'm pursuing doctorates in astrophysics and applied Mathematics, and I believe the word you would have wanted was _reflection_ instead of refraction. Refraction means to bend light through different mediums. But in this case neither word would have applied.
    Studies have shown that the eye black worn by those football players is effective as anti-glare because black absorbs all wavelengths of light. Thus, when there's no glare, that increases the contrast of the objects which makes them easier to see. So in essence, there's no light-bending or reflection going on. All light coming in is being absorbed.
    BTW, I fell in love with Meerkats when Meerkat Manor was on, and I literally cried for 2 solid weeks when Flower distracted that snake away from her pups and she got bit and died, but her pups lived.
    TWO WEEKS! 😁
    Love these guys! 🤎

      The spots are for camoflage, which is a fancy word for being hard to see. The spots help them hide from predators like hawks by helping them blend in with their surroundings, which in the wild would be deserts and dry scrubland.

    But if you put their flea control between their shoulderblades like dogs and cats, don't you have to separate them? I would think that they would lick it off of each other. That's why you need to separate or keep separate cats and dogs that live in close quarters after you apply it.
