IM Z Lol, exactly
More like a protection racket.
IM Z Well i didn't blame the drongo bird after all he's the watch men after all.What happens if the watch men leaves.You selfish lucky meerkats.
Yeah but he got greedy...shouldn't have used the same trick twice!
@@muzicalvet1983 they have their own watchman. The bird is lowdown. A thief. No one likes a thief.
I love the dramatic close-up on the meerkat faces when they realized they were fooled again xD. Fantastic camerawork and editing. and drongo is one sneaky son of a bird.
"Sunova..."
ecks dee
MJ_GreenPL llkkjyyuiiuu
z💩💩💩💩
Timon you idiot
not to mention the blues music LOL
Narrated by a Drongo doing a very good impersonation of David Attenborough.
It tricks the youtubers into liking the Drongos video.
You Win. Months later, still winning!
Please don't be this person. 😂😂😂😂
super clever lol
And tricks the viewers like us 😂
This clip is one of my favourites. The look on those meerkats faces when being tricked. 😂
also the look of the bird when meerkat eats his scorpion ahahahah
I thought the Drongo was going to eat the meerkats😂
Shelly Husnian same here
Same
I thought so too
lmao. He is far too smooool
The Drongo fooled you too. 😋
2:39 ..." You have GOT to be kidding me."
hew hew
jimmy fortrue 😂😂😂😂😂 I got your joke there
That Sunovabitch fooled me in order to steal my meal
1:35 "fuck this bird"
🤣🤣🤣🤣im daying
1:35 those teary eyes after loosing his snack to a scam bird...
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
2:39 I need this as a meme
When you help your friend get a girlfriend but he gets your crush
It's like that Mike Wazowski meme, it's all I could keep thinking about 😂
@@tapiaisautismo4394 Brilliant! 😂😂
Internet was made for these greater things
I'm literally dying watching that bit now.
Meerkats: THEY PLAYED US LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE!!
START TALKING BITCH! BITCH!
Mgsv 😂😂
Fee fee fee this is my fiddle. - Johnny schmoker
They got to be some dummies... 😂😂😂 Fool em once, Fool em twice!!
Well the meerkats didn't fall the second time on the warning call did they fall the second time when the drongo did the meerkat cry or did they catch on
A bird steals food and gets called a genius, I steal food and get called a pig :/
Juicy Panpan please can you help me? In time 48 the commenter says a sentence i couldn't hear it well he said He spots an eagle on the hunt and sounds a warning one that sends the meetkats straight ................ to safety ,,,, can you please fill in the blank the words he said because I couldn't hear it well .
Jafar Al-shmareey “one that sends the meerkats straightfully scurrying to safety.” It could be “straightforwardly” but If you’re referencing this use straightforwardly because straightfully isn’t a word, have a nice day.
Juicy Panpan Thank you Juicy for helping please can i add you to Facebook ???
Juicy Panpan Before that which country are you from?
Juicy Panpan it might have been straight for scurrying to safety
Incredible nature, the bird knows what it's doing and perfectly does well!
That piano at 02:50 is just awesome! Matches with the whole setting.
This goes to show that humans aren't the only creatures capable of being crooks, loafers and free loaders. What a genius of a bird though.
The bird deserves a thousand female mates for outsmarting that group of mammals.
What are you saying? Animals are angels! Go ask them vegans!
That makes the drongo the supreme socialist of birds. I always thought it was the cuckoo.
"But officer, I stole from that family because they were a bunch of idiots! It's built into my DNA!"
I think a worm and scorpion is a small tax to pay for having a snitch on the inside of the bird precinct gotta pay the workers or they will work you!
2:38 - "Bruh..."
ajnode s
😂😂😂
Killed it!
ajnode 🤣
ajnode Dead! 😂😂😂
Meerkats be like: We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and quite possibly, bamboozled
Amazing. The beauty and intelligence of the wild.
These just wouldn't be the same without commentary from Sir David Attenborough!
Yeah. He's rich you know🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻♂️
These won't* be the same with out him.
not even close
There's always Boris Johnson or Nigel Farage, they seemed to have popular voices.
Facts 👌
They must hate the birds now. The either get eaten by a bird or get fooled by a bird and loose their hard earned meal. 🤦♂️🤣
I would lose my mind 😂😷
their face at 1:35 clearly shows that
Until they catch the bird and eat him alive . Problem solved.
*lose
Lose not loose. Loose means not tight
2:07 "The juicy scorpion wont be for him" And he took that personally.
"Outsmarted by a bird" ...which are some of the smartest animals on Earth.
didn't know I am a bird !
It's true. The average crow is significantly more intelligent than the average dog.
Me: "why not just carry the bite size food with you when you hear the alarm?"
Meerkats: "damnit...."
Too busy trying to save their collective ass
Well if you were eating at Burger King and you saw an armed man walking up with the exit behind you. Would you grab your burger before fleeing. Probably not XD
see this is why you call in and have your food delivered
@@juliosunga3530 200 IQ
What do they tell u to do during a fire alarm?
someday, meerkats will learn how to carry their food when they run to their burrows LOL.
Red Omen for real tho, dunno why they cant learn that
Too dangerous. Almost an unnecessary risk
Same reason we don't carry our bags during emergency evacuations from planes. Priorities. There is enough food for the meerkats.
Their lives are much more important than that.
Imagine you were in a desert and a bird twice the size of you circles over had looking at you like you're food. And everyone starts screaming murder bird. are you going to finish killing your cat sized scorpion and drag it away
Or are you just going to book it
Still one of the best vids on the net
The music that plays when the Drongo gets food is relaxing.
the face they make after getting fooled 😂😂😂😂 1:35
What about 2:39🤣
Poker face
1:35 meerkat: you fucking asshole!
"That bastard..."
True definition of "work smarter, not harder"
Yep lol
@Mint & Cola yea it's working smarter your malignant sterg. Lol
@@JBaked so then why do people get mad a CEO's and large corporations lol
thats steAling tho😂,its not very smart
@@thefuzzypickle8277 cuz they make more money then them haha
Khal Drongo ,for whom the meerkats are just "mere" Kats 👏
A bird outsmarting Meerkats 😄... there's so much there that happens around us.... Just like this vid, wish that David Attenborough could keep going forever. Was always a 'highlight' to watch his nature shows during science at school. He's just turned 97. And that 'iconic' voice of his.... It'll never be forgotten.
Fool me once - shame on you, fool me twice - shame on me
but.. but.. Drongo fool them thrice
Trenerze Trenerzowski hahahah
Trenerze Trenerzowski if you fooled me you can't get fooled again! Lol
Trenerze Trenerzowski ayyy
there is no third one hahaha coz you would be in Eagle stomach haha
2:38 That slow pan-in of the Meerkkat thinking “Well played bird... Well played”
More like "I can't believe you have done this" lol
😂😂
@@Afkg3ar Lol
'_'
@@Afkg3ar twice !
THE LOOK OF DESPAIR ON THE POOR MEERKATS FACE AFTER THEY REALISED THEY GOT TRICKED KILLED ME
This is the best ever I'd seen on this channel! 😍😃
The Meerkats should just give the Drongo food in return for warnings.
First kalahari, tommorow, the entire human existence.
Communist
Kinda like trump "USA is under attack by the left" oh shit thank you, here's some money
If that would the way we live then dodos would still be alive today..
I think the eagles and such don't come along often enough for the "legitimate warning" strategy to work. It needs food more quickly than that.
"Don't worry Timon I'll hold on to this until the danger's gone" 1:20
lol
😂
Timon: Thank you very much
This is amazing even animals are learning how to troll others truly spectacular
LOL I just love the zoom on the meerkat face the second time. Just perfect.
Days without Drongo Bird tricks: 0
Luis Rojas hahahah that cracked me up lol. They’re erasing the board every few minutes and having to pep themselves up like ok meerkats - we failed this time but we’re going to get it on the next one ! Yeahhhhh we can DO IT !!!.., 5 seconds later ... and we’re back to zero ... one of the meerkats to another meerkat :” ahh don’t feel bad meerKARL, could’ve happened to any one of us ... “
Other meerkat :Yeah , thanks for the support meerKathy, I Just feel bad I fell for it 2x in a row .... “
Other meerkat joins in : “ don’t worry bout it. The important thing is you know now and won’t make the same mistake agai- - - ( immediately back to zero )... meerkats :sigh.... it’s ok. We’ve all bn there .. we’ll get it right next time ! 😂😂
G
So, calling someone a birdbrain is a compliment, right?
RIGHT?!
Yes. Some birds like parrots and crows are some of the most intelligent animals on the planet.
Drongo's brain for specific
Germany does not use the word: "birdbrain" as an insult. We prefer: "Holz-kopf" (wood-head) and "Spatzen-hirn" (=sparrow-brain). Spatzenhirn is the closest to birdbrain.
Ive always though birds ARE VERY INTELLIGENT creatures(dinosaurs).I think only STUPID people considered them as dumb.And guess what-IM RIGHT!
@@cloneduece4747 So far ahead of us in fact they allow us to pretend some of our species discovered things such as nucleosynthesis, internal conversion, and tautomeric transitions! They're taking back Birdoulli's principle though...
Edit: Did I say Birdoulli? I meant Bernoulli.
"Fool me one time, shame on you !
Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you" 😅🤷🏾♂️
Drongo: *watch this*
*IT'S AN EAGLE!!!*
Meercats: *retreat*
Drongo: What a bunch of marks!!!
The bird is a very good example of a corrupt politician. Promising at first but true colors will show afterwards. 😂
It's the EXACT same strategy, and works even better on humans. Welfare, Schools, Social security etc... everything they 'give" you, they took from you, except they take everything else along with it.
Lmaoo
Not corrupt. All politician's.
hallelujah I was thinking the same thing. Unfortunately most of them are leftists as you look at their cities the state of their cities it is evident they just used the people's hurt and pain to gain. then left the people hanging out there homeless camp pay the taxes hurting. That's why Jesus Christ revealed he's the way. Not politicians and not government but God is the hope of our hearts
@@stringtheoryguitars4952 thank you Jesus Christ people are waking up
Why can’t videos like these go longer I could watch these all day
They are snippets from much longer TV shows. Just watch the whole show.
@@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530 which show? Full information please
I think it already required a lot of efforts in making such duration, so a long one isn't supposed to be this quality.
@@harisbinsaeed the long ones are this quality
dileep koppu if you have Netflix just type blue planet. There one and two. I don’t know where the land one from BBC is
I used to watch the show meerkat manor. It's been awhile ago but I'll never forget flower and her babies.
Poor Rocket Dog never gets a break.
This Dongo bird should run for Congress. Far smarter than all the Meerkats there.
Mr. Drongo A. Arubengo was later arrested and charged for security fraud and extortion. He has pled, not guilty!
He is in Africa, so I guess not.

“A gang of meerkats outsmarted, by a bird.” - BBC Earth Narrator
do not disrespect David Attenborough like that
AB preach it brother
moondee lundee are you calling me a dumb American because I didn’t write his name In my comment? If you are honestly, get a life.
@@Grimmettn well get with it. The whole world has to know ur drugs cheat athletes and powers that be everyone has to know and respect whereby they have little for others.
The narrator is well known, and if you gonna watch the BBC wildlife and complain I suggest you watch one with an American narrator, which I have seen myself a docu and the American doing a wildlife narrating is very poor.
moondee lundee how am I complaining, I simply cited a quote in a video, you need to chill out and stop being a idiot. Actually read the comment, I hate people like you. but thanks for the insult!
Who would win?
A gang of organized Meerkats with systems of alarm
or
One birdy boi
One cheeky boi
STFU and go back to watching your fucking anime, you fucking weeaboo! God, why are you virgin ass losers doing here? You don't belong here! This isn't an Anime channel, so get the fuck out of here and stop spreading your cancer, weeab!
Reported that comment from guy
Guy10169 who the fuck hurt you??
Guy10169 Weirdo.
David Attenborough is a legend and this clip is awesome
Drongo : I do bad things and i do them very well.😂
I didn’t know scorpions were juicy 😂🤣
It's the tangy venom juice 😂
I didn't know peaches were salty too..
He made sound juicy....Great narration...I also fell for it especially when the meerkat chew it lol..
Pussy is juicy
In Asia people eat scorpions
Student: Eating chips in class*
Teacher: Pulls fire alarm*
Student: leaves bags of chips in classroom*
Teacher: comes outside eating yo chips*
That'll piss me tf off 😂👌🏾
Playboy Hector omg exactly
*Teacher: Mimics sound of fire alarm
But the student wouldn’t be that dumb. They’d take their bag of chips with them
Fuck that, im taking my chips with me
Bro you broke our trust just for the scorpion 😄
Drongo : 😉 chill
Drongo Bird be like "Psyche!" 🏃♂️
He protecc
He attaccc
But most importantly
He take the snaccc
he tricks the meerkacc

@@mahmmadakramsaiyad8296 in like 2009 not today

There are actually people like this Drongo that I actually realised I didn't need anymore, I will look out for myself and I have been doing great!!!!
Amazing how birds are some of the most devious & intelligent animals out there & yet their brains are tiny in comparison to many other animals.
Drongo deserves an Oscar.
2:40 meerkat: I trusted you bro😢
Drongo: heheheheee
Eagle: you cant just alarm my meercat breakfast
Drongo:haha alarm go bbbrrrrrrr
Lol that bird is adorable and sneaky at the same time! 😁😁😁🐦🐦🐦😊😊😊

IT'S JUST A PRANK BRO
lol
This is hilarious! 😂😂 It gave me some good laugh
Clever Security Guard 😂🤣😜😝😛
BBC out here tricking me making me think the bird bout to fly off with one of these lil dudes 😂
The extraordinary filming along with Attenborough's witty commentary...these are always so fun to watch.
Best thing I've watched lately on animal behaviour plus the sound of Attenborough, makes it sound majestic!
the sound feeling is very beautiful. It is very good to know about various specious upload more like these videos.
Sentry: exist
Drongo bird: I'm about to end that meerkat's career
He trapped them in a genjutsu with his sharingan.
Ok👍

와 그냥 속이는것도 아니고 미어캣울음소리를 따라해서 속이다니... 진짜 똑똑하다
the music change after the meerkats are tricked gives me major sitcom vibes lol
Talk about throwing a wrench in your carefully crafted 'early warning system.' The meerkat security council must be scrambling to come up with something more drongo-proof in the shortest possible time.
Pidgin English *the meerkat security council*
u mean the meerkat FBI
There’s a pun in there guys figure it out
I about died laughing at 2:36 when the camera man panned in on the meerkat sadness at the realization that he's been tricked. 'Sound of silence' music would be perfect here while the drongo takes his lunch in slow motion 😂
An animal had you die laughing. I guess animals are smarter than I thought.
His voice n way of narrating: gold
Thanks for the patience to get these interesting pictures!

That's why meerkats need advanced early detection anti-air radar system.
Come with anti air gun.
It's a symbiotic relationship between the neighbours. You scratch my back and you scratch mine too. But meerkats like most of us forget to give back🙆🙆
The piano music whenever the drongo fools them... It's so chill and homely. I love it
yaaa, where you able to find the name of it? Thanks
Fooled... by a Drongo.
If you’re Australian, you’ll know what that means! 😂
Here in the US we know too!! Lol
Bird- I will warn you, you will give me share😂
So nature has its own version of Among Us. GG Imposter!

This freaking guy again, really? Everyday we fall for this🤔
This man’s narration makes this video much more cinematic. Such mesmerizing voice. Been following his videos from other documentaries too
A national treasure.
Coby's Warrior That's Sir David Attenborough.
that's the brother of Richard Attenborough ( the guy who played John hammond in JP )
This man 😂
Yes, a mellifluous voice💖
Omg the pure SASS in that turn from that meerkat 1:34 LMAO
Yaaaas
He's like "bruh"
Well the voice is mesmerizing
Love it... Always a joy. I did pass out during the bug-consumption phase. But when I awoke, I loved it again. Thank you.
This is what happens when you don't use encryption when communicating.
Also: a textbook example of a replay attack.
I don't know how they film these kinds of things, but imagine it must take forever to get the right angles in order to put the story together. Always a fascinating story, along with the fascination of how they do it! Thank you.
they have a camera for days or weeks on the location
well the story comes in the editing room, i'm sure. the cameraman collects an impressive collection of various behaviour they observe and expect from the animals and archives them
One of my biology lecturers said that she met Attenborough for filming in life of birds, and had to send published research to show that any behaviour filmed was what we would expect to see in the wild and not out of the ordinary. Obviously theres a level of dramatization in documentaries and editing to bring out emotion, idk these docs are so cool.
@@chaotic_raisin yes! I can feel an anxiety within myself just thinking about all the work and then the thrill when it is finally completed and looks like this.
@@quinncooper4824 the videos that blow me away are of eagles or hawks flying - from their perspective as if wearing a GoPro and from close up side view.
