I love this programme - anyone else addicted to it?

I love it.... and i want a meerkat :-) I think they are so cute!!! but feel sad when bad things happen and they dont intervene because they are wild animals. I totally understand taht but i feel bonded with them and want to help :-)
my mum loves it too. Its animal Big brother :-)

I love it but hate watching it at the same time - get so worried for them and then last night was in tears - just don't think I can take all the horrid stuff!

But then just can't not watch it!!!

Wasn't it sad last night?  Poor Flower :(.

Nature can be very cruel but they are addictive, my son's girl friend is so addicted I get a blow by blow report of which one is doing what. Got new pups at Marwell Zoo last week.

I knew something horrible at happened when she disappeared after the snake and then the sad music came on!

For those Meerkat addicts

Really to sad - thought the baby was not going to make it (he was just like a cat with 9 lives wasn't he) but Flower was Meerkat Manor really wasn't she!

Thanks minpin :-p

Yes, the production team are very good at keeping us all on the edge of our seats!  I couldn't believe the Zappa mother dropped him and ran away in the first place.  They seem such caring animals to their young that you would think she would have put him first.

What happened to Flower? :-(

I've missed loads of eps!

A cobra snake went into the burrow where her babies were and she went in after it to protect them and was fatally bitten.

I love watching this program too, as do my kids and OH.

It is sad to watch the terrible bits like with Flower being bitten and I am always at the edge of my seat shouting 'do something! help them for goodness sake!' but sort of understand that they are wild and should not intervene, but still if I was there I would have made sure all was well.

I thought it was very strange how the rival group took on the baby Kat that had wondered near to their camp, very sweet xx

oo look what I found video clips enjoy :)
