  • A super auntie meerkat named Cameron loves to babysit cute mongoose babies for the mongoose family in Namibia. Meerkats, like banded mongoose, are highly social animals, and their survival depends on being social. For this meerkat's mongoose brothers and sisters, she might speak with a meerkat accent, but she thinks she is a mongoose and they consider her as being part of the family.
    Our Oddest Animal Friendships is a series of heart-warming, fun, and fascinating series showcasing unusual interspecies animal bonding from around the world.

      Me too hon. Me too. I lost almost all of my family members/friends due to our differences in religious, political, and pandemic beliefs. Idk why, but your comment struck a chord with me. I guess because even though we choose to be true to ourselves, it still hurts like hell that our own flesh and blood rejects us for whatever reason. Best wishes from a random stranger on the internet.

      @@MONGOOSE1ful It usually takes a minute long search to know what family an animal is in, so excuse me if I didn’t do enough research to find the one outdated textbook you looked at.
      And don’t pretend like you don’t know what I’m talking about. It’s literally and adjective and a noun, no hidden meanings behind it. If you somehow didn’t know, taxonomy changes all the time when new information is discovered. This year, the mew/common gull got split into the common gull and short-billed gull, and it was changed immediately on pretty much every major resource. As soon as the AOS declared it, pretty much every major resource updated its information. That’s what the internet is for, making information easily accessible so you don’t have to read and research a ton of books from different years that might have conflicting information.
      So yeah I don’t care if you claim to have been studying these creatures for years, so have a lot of people from some of the most prominent scientific authorities that have done DNA comparisons on these creatures. If you got a problem with how they classify things, bring it up with them.
