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?
Wildlife Photography is a wonderful profession. Its so peaceful, requires patience, dedication, no alteration with nature, just mesmerising moments being captured.
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 :)
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.

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
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!
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 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.
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.
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 !!!!
Issac Newton: "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." Meerkats: "We literally have seen further by standing on this photographer."
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?*
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!
Meercats remind me of prairie dogs. I live in Western Colorado around Prairie Dog towns. A nickname for them are American Meercats. Meercats look bigger on TV, I watched Meercats feeding once at a zoo, it was a neat experience.
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.
Le photographe Will Burrard-Lucass’est offert la séance photo de sa vie dans la région de Makgadikgadi au Botswana, alors qu’il prenait en photo une famille de suricates (meerkats en anglais). Ces derniers n’ont rien trouvé de mieux que de lui monter sur la tête et sur le téléobjectif afin de lui témoigner leur sympathie. Quels animaux fabuleux!
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...
I have a zoo near to my town where they have meerkats. All the animals in this zoo cannot live in the wild because they were born in captivity, so goes for these meerkats. Every time i go visit the zoo, they made this huge space for these animals, and in the summertime you can really see how they are relaxing and chillin' in the sun. But even then..at least one of them is always on the lookout for predators. It's their natural instinct i guess. I love these animals!
My greatest hope is that someday humans can have a peaceful relationship like this with most wild animal species. Some predators are iffy, but hope doesn't cost anything.
Thanks for the video. I think that meerkats are the cutest and funniest wild animals. Had fun at my stepmom's hummingbird feeder once a few years ago. They were making these hard to hear pipping sounds, so I started pipping back at them. One came over to to try to figure out why I was doing that. I never made any moves that would scare them away, so they did put up with me being nearby. I enjoyed this close brush with nature. I'm a senior woman now, but as a kid I would catch frogs and small lizards, but only to get a good look at them, and then I'd let them go again. I was always checking out nature stuff when young. Unfortunately, bad knees and a bad back have now put a stop to my nature walks, but at least I can still watch nature videos.
This is the type of relationship I envision animals having with humans. A neutral arbitrator of sorts. I really think it's possible even with the top predators. Predators would just walk by us totally ignoring us and going for wild game instead. Maybe now and then ask for guidance. Like instead of getting territorial warfare we can help them efficiently find a better place with abundant resources to settle.
It must be damn near impossible to resist petting them
You must need alot of discipline to be a wildlife photographer.
I’m still wondering why
They can't resist petting Will
surely one careful pet would be okay?
Yeah not cool to touch wildlife of any kind. Especially young ones. You can pass on diseases that would otherwise be harmless to us
Wow. You know you're trusted when the momma Meercat allows her babies around you.
Thank you!!!

GIGGLE 😆😂🤣 The meerkats realize that you are not a threat, but make very handy lookout posts, shade, and company 😆😂🤣
As well as portable trees 🤣
Lol seems we are not the only one studying other species 😂

This is just as cute as it gets out in the wild....so wonderful to see
Now thats a refreshing comment.... They have learnt that humans don't want to harm them. Wish that was true for elephants and rhinos.

@@helenlucka Those has been domesticated for our consumption. Elephants and rhinos on the other hand arent.

You mean the cuteness that makes so many of them a huge target for illegal pet trade ? Or Chinese medicinal market ?
