Yeah, I’m an idiot, but those furry little bastards are so adorable. This is my first attempt at live blogging, so here goes nothing.
To recap the final episode of season 1, Flower and the gang have successfully defended their burrow from Big Cy and the Lazuli clan. The pups were found hiding safe within the burrow but there is no sign of Shakespeare, the meerkat who was ambushed while babysitting as the rest of the clan was off foraging. Tosca, exiled from the Whiskers by Flower, seems to have formed a bond with Carlos and the prospect of the two starting a new clan together seems good. Youssarian is still undersexed and looking for love. At the end of the episode the Whiskers have moved on to a new burrow, with the question of Shakespeare’s fate still unresolved.
Update 1: Shakespeare isn’t in the opening credits! Oh noes!!!!1!! Tosca has also gone missing. No mention of Youssarian, either.
Update 2: Another litter of pups, group of mean little fuzzballs. Atilla, great name. Love the names they give these guys.
Update 3: Uh-oh, new rival male. Grog? Scared off by pup Atilla. Grog must be a wuss.
Update 4: New rival clan, the Commandos! Buy our playsets and toys!
Update 5: There’s Zaphod. And Youssarian. And the Lazuli. Youssarian is making a play for the dominant female of the Lazuli, then gets distracted when he finds some easy love in the form of Pancake, an evicted Lazuli. Grog shows up while Youssarian is making a move for the tick covered Pancake. Youssarian scent marks like a horny meerkat, and there goes Grog with his tail twixt his legs. Grog scares off easy. My earlier assessment of Grog holds true. Total wuss, never gonna get any action like that Grog.
Update 6: Foragers return, and the pups are hungry. Flower can’t get her mammaries out fast enough for em. Next day, sun rises and Youssarian awakes after getting him some the night before. Then he ditches her. Poor Pancake.
Update 7: Pups are going out in the bush today on a foraging trip. Only 1 in 4 make it to adulthood? The fact that the dominant female kills the pups of rival females, clans kill rival pups, and exiled females are easy mating pickings for horny roving males are definitely factors in that ratio. Oh and predators, don’t forget predators.
Update 8: Zaphod sees an eagle, sounds the alarm, and sends the clan to a nearby bolthole (sp?). The eagle leaves and foraging recommences. Except for Youssarian. He’s looking for some more love, eyeing the dominant female of the Lazuli. Two other males are also crowding Youssarian’s prize.
Update 9: Two episodes on tonite. Didn’t know that when I started!
Update 10: New episode. Still winter. Winter and 90 degrees. Global warming is a bitch. The Whiskers are still out foraging. The pups are in a splinter foraging group away from the main group, moving close to the Commandos! territory. Atilla takes on a scorpion. Little furball has some cajones for only being two inches long. Mozart assists by biting off the stinger. That’s some good eatin’.
Update 11: Oh Youssarian, still feeling randy? Did Pancake mean nothing to you? I thought she was special. Isn’t that what you said last night under the moonlight? Mitch and Will are also looking to make a move for the Lazuli girls. Uh-oh, the Lazuli are pissed, better put paws to sand, Mitch, they’re comin’ fer ya!
Update 12: Youssarian and Big Will are close, but they fall back. No love today.
Update 13: Uh-oh, the Commandos! are chasing the splinter group and the pups. They move in!
Update 14: Total psyche, it was the rest of the Whiskers. Stupid blind little meerkats!
Update 15: What’s that moving across the desert? It’s a snake mang! Going into the burrow! Oh noes!!!! Commercial break!
Update 16: Youssarian, Mitch and Big Will console each other after not getting any. Going to hole up in a bolthole for the night. The Whiskers return to the burrow, unaware of the snake that’s holed up in their burrow.
Update 17: Early morning, no sign of the snake, mang. All are present and accounted for, snake gets no dinner last night. The cobra emerges from the hole. The cobra leaves. Boo! Bad cobra!
Update 18: Three amigos Will, Youssarian, and Mitch are back at the Lazuli burrow, wanting to make sweet meerkat love to the dominant female. Chased off again, sorry boys.
Update 19: Foraging again, close to the Commandos! territory again. The Commandos! are also moving close to both the Lazuli and Whiskers. Check out the dominant male of the Commandos!. Evil! Looks like he could be a contestant in the Ugliest Dog Competition they keep advertising.
Next week, either the Whiskers or the Lazuli will face off with the Commandos!, plus the Commandos! raid the Whiskers den.
Well that ends my first forray into liveblogging. As usual the episodes of Meerkat Manor were entertaining (totally whiffed on the two episode night, wasn’t prepared to spend a whole hour doing this). I was a little disappointed in the matter of fact way they dismissed Shakespeare and Tosca. The fate of Shakespeare was the main “cliffhanger” at the end of the first season, which was resolved in the first few minutes with a brief mention and nothing else. Quite anticlimactic. Alas, poor Shakespeare! To die, to sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub!
I’m not sure if I’ll keep this up for the entire season, or even next week. Feedback requesting me to keep doing this would definitely sway me to keep it up.
::UPDATE:: Recaps of episodes 3 & 4 can be found here.
Love your meerkat blogging … definitely more fun than the actual Meerkat manor website.
Don’t you wish there were less commercial on APL - Meerkat Manor. I’m quite pissed when they didn’t resolve last season’s cliffhanger … what happened to Shakespeare? What about Tosca? Did Tosca and Carlos get together and start a family?
Please continue your fun meerkat blogsite … I know I’ll be coming back to read up on your entries.
Great blog! I’d read it again! Keep blogging! Liked the sharp wit you put with it!
Tuesday Reading List - basil’s Underwear Edition…
(Yes, I know I’m Googlebaiting - expect it on these posts from now on).
Two things have recently come to my attention:
1. blogging is much, much harder when you must type one-handed and
2. Some people actually like these “what’s g…
Your site is great! I was frantic when I found out that I missed the premier of season two. (The little rodents are like heroin to me.)
What you are saying is that the fate of Shakespeare is still unknown? You HAVE to be kidding me!
Thanks so much for the blog.
So upset that I missed the new season but then I found this. You state things better than the soap opera digests! Please keep it up because I have found that the ‘death’ part of all this is more than I can watch. With your blog, I can keep up with my gang and not have to cry so much if I don’t see the bad stuff myself. It is just not fair for those filming to see the pups die for lack of help while they just sit there and film, thinking ‘this will be great on tv’. I couldn’t do it, I would be there scaring off the snakes, grabbing those pups and giving them cpr.
I love the new show Meerkat Manor, but they have not revealed the
fate of Shakespeare or what happened to Tosca.
Think both Shakespeare and Tosca have perished during the winter. I am going to be very upset if Mozart dies as well
This was great! I was frantically looking for an update, thanks for providing it! There are new names this season!
Well, like the others have mentioned, Shakespeare is a real meerkat stud, and if he perished, well, that will be so sad and dissappointing!
Hope you stay with it! I work weird hours and missed the first 2 when I found you. I watched the 2nd 2 episodes but still wanted your take on the whole thing. Thanks!
What the hell?!?!?! NOOOOOOO!!! I lvoe someone has made a blog for this… It doesnt suck like the official web site… However Carlos did get it on with Mozart I think, so no family with Tosca. Shakey also died i believe. I sent animal planet an angry mail about them advertising ‘Discover the Key to the fate of Shakespere,’ and noit telling us… I demanded an anwer, as the keep the Meerkats under 24 hour surveillance right?
I also at one point said that they should save the meerkats instead of filming, but trust me they arent being Callous. They do care, but they cant save them. The predators have to eat, even if it is cute adorable meerkats. Why dont we stop the meerkats from eating turtle eggs? Because its how life in the Kalihari works, as sad as it is.
I do think however they should save the Meerkats that are definately going to die, revive them and mail them to me Via UPS, so i can play with them. Loveable little Cats…
Is there going to be a DVD? I cant find any of the episodes i missed on Limewire apparently they dont like it on there… Also I missed some episodes of season one, and no one has it on youtube either… If anyone knowns how to get the episodes online please tell me.
How can we be certain that Shakespeare and Tosca are gone? Perhaps the producers want to keep us watching the second season (as if I need another reason).
I hosted my first “Meerkat Manor” party last week–much like the “Melrose Place” and “Ally McBeal” parties from the early nineties–and made quite a few converts–alcohol can really open minds.
I’m glad to see that at least Mozart is still alive and well.
I love the Meerkat series, just can’t wait till Friday nights to see the next one. Wish they would show them daily , not just once a week.
WHERE IS SHAKESPEARE?!?!? I misss him!!!! doees anyone else think he is still alive???
Thank you for your blog and I say until you see a body, skeleton or other forensics don’t give up on Shakespeare. But I really DO think they need to contact an animal psychic in order to find him…one way or another!
I love him and I miss him!
In the first epsisode of Season 2 the narrator said that Shalespeare was missing and Tosca had not been seen and both were presumed dead.
I want to know what happens to Mozart at the end of this season. I fear she will meet the same fate as her sisiter and brother.
Anyone know?
What happened to Sahkesphere??? Tell us! You advertised the fate of this lovely little tike would be revealed at the beginning of the new season and then said nothing!
Tell Us! B J Stillwell
*Sob* I have emailed them and they said they fear Shakespeare was killed defending the pups, but they aren’t sure yet. They also say that they are amazed, and they have never before produced a show that created such a huge attachment from the viewers. What pissed me off was they went on about how shakespeare died defending th pups, and spoke very highly of him, and then they said, “As of yet we have no information on tosca.” That is all they said of her…
The reason they advertisd the key to shakspear, Im guessing, is because they thought they would know. But apparently not even the most holy Animal Planet knows everything… *Bows to AP*
Youssarian did it again. Left the pups alone. There really is something seriously wrong with this Meerkat.
Youssarian needs to see a shrink. *Is sad about Blossom*
For anyone who wants to interact personally with a meerkat - for $100.00 you can “adopt” a meerkat at the Fellow Earthlings’ Wildlife Center in California. This entitles you to a yearly visit where you can handle and play with the meerkats (they look after orphans, unwanted former pets, etc.) I’m planning to join and am really looking forward to seeing the little critters in person.
Oops - forgot to give everyone the website for the above - it’s http://www.meerkats.com.
Fellow Earthlings is a pretty cool organazation, I heard about them. Dang it I live on the east coast. So far.
It sucks they have such strict rules on allowing Meerkats to be kept as pets for people. Although it is probably for the best. As much as I would love one I couldn’t provided 3 miles of Sand and scorpions.
Meerkat.com is where I learned about Fellow Earthlings. I typed it in one day for fun when surfing the net and got this persons website. She redirected me to Meerkats.com and had some cool stuff.
Hi all,
Thanks for your blogging, comments, and for the info about Shakespeare’s disappearance. I’m from Melbourne, Australia, and the final episode of season one screens on free-to-air on Sunday, November 26, ‘06. I’m really shattered about Shakey, as he was my favourite. I love(d) Tosca, too, and was upset to learn that she disappeared, also. Maybe if they’d left the radio collar on her, she would’ve been able to have been traced, dead or alive.
I don’t know when season two will air here, but I’ll know not to get my hopes up or feel anxious if the previews tease us about Shakespeare.
It’s nice to know that there are other likeminded “Meerkat Manor” fans out there who’ve been captivated by the litter critters, just as I have. Thanks again.
Elizabeth.

Micaela,
If you want info about what happens in Season 2, I posted some info on another site at the request of one of your fellow Aussies - to view it, you can go to: http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2006/09/careless_whiske.html#comment-25775373.
Also, you can go directly to the Animal Planet Meerkat Manor site and find out everything about Season 2.

[Or, you could just keep reading my site. I recap every episode of season 2 here. -CC]
Hi - if anyone is interested, a group of us meerkat lovers are trying to help several meerkats at the Staten Island Zoo who are living in a substandard enclosure (not the Zoo’s fault - they, like every other zoo, are always short of funds). We’re raising money to build them a new enclosure. Donations may be sent to: Staten Island Zoo, 614 Broadway, Staten Island, NY 10310. The Zoo’s website is: http://www.statenislandzoo.org. Make sure to write on your check that the donation is restricted to the new meerkat enclosure. Thanks to anyone who can help these precious little kats!
i live in australia and we only recently saw the end of series one. i was heartbroken at the complete dismissal of shakespeare and the lonely existance of tosca and just couldn’t wait for series 2 to find out what happened to them. This is a workday and i have so far spent 4 hours on the internet updating the staff about next years manor. i love this stuff
After watching episode 1(season 1) I fell in love with the little fur balls.
I went online a bought The series boxset. I instantly fell in love with Shakespear. After watching the dvds and being left on a cliffhanger with many sleepless nights. Will sombody please tell me if my beloved Shakespear is still alive??
Hi, I am a little behind in the latest of the Manor. I just finished watching the episode where Shakespeare is bit twice by the Gaboon Viper. I have a Gaboon Viper at home and know the potency of there wrath…I was wondering if he survived the double assault. He made it back to the burrow just in time for night fall but they made it sound as if he wan’t going to live through the night??? I know some animals have ammunity to snake venom, they must have a certain level of tolerance b/c the venom is so powerful it will kill a human in 15 minutes w/o immedialte anti-venom. These snakes have the longest fangs in the world that grow to be 2 inches…Please tell me that is not how my lil one departed..thanx
Relax Nicole - brave little Shakespeare survived the viper bite, albeit with a struggle. Mozart comforted him along the way.
However, as you will gleam in future blogs, our furry favorite apparently did not survive an attack by the Lazuli as he guarded the latest Flower litter of pups. :-’( From another blog
Q: What happened to Shakespeare on “Meerkat Manor”? —Leonard
A: Alas, poor Shakespeare, we knew him, Leonard. The scrappy meerkat on Animal Planet’s engrossing animal saga has faced tough times in the past: A puff adder bite had him fighting for his life in the first season, but he overcame that, fast becoming a fan favorite, in part for his heated defense of the clan’s pups. Yet he hasn’t been seen since season two began. Fans were upset about the mystery, especially since promotions for the new season hinted that Shakespeare’s fate would be explained — and it was not.
Tom Flower (hey…no wonder “Flower” is the alpha female meerkat’s name) of the Kalahari Meerkat Project has addressed Shakey’s fate in an online letter that’s been posted in the channel’s forums. “We just do not know what his ultimate fate was,” Flower says. “Meerkats are often killed defending pups, Shakespeare was a babysitter the day before and Lazuli [a competing meerkat family] were in the area. However it is equally possible that he was killed by a predator, dispersed to another group, or was killed by another group whilst trying to join them, we just weren’t there on that particular day.”
Further down in the same online thread, another letter is posted, from Alex Thornton of the University of Cambridge, a researcher who works at the meerkat site. He offers a tiny flicker of hope, saying “It is possible that [Shakespeare] has become dominant in an unhabituated group outside our reserve (an individual of his size has been seen in one of the neighbouring groups), but we can’t say for certain if it is Shakespeare.”
I checked with Animal Planet at press time to see if there was any new news. Sadly, in this case, no news is bad news. Spokeswoman Alison Risso told me “Shakespeare has not been spotted since he fought Big Si while protecting the pups. Neither our cameras nor on-site researchers have found any sign of him. We have to presume he died, since it’s extraordinarily unlikely for a meerkat to survive on his own for very long.”
Rest in peace, furry little guy. —G.F.C.
Arghhhh, lol…thank u sooo much for your rapid respone…I’m so glad he lives after that bite…I’m sure I will be crying in the near future (thanks for the warning)..So do u think he met his demose with Big Si??
I was so pleased to find this web site. Like so may others I wondered what happened to Shakespeare, and never seemed to get an episode when he was on. Which made me fear for the worst. And now Mozart seems to be having a hard time. I’m not sure how keen I am on Flower, with the way Mozart is treated, but I supoose that’s the way meerkats live. I wonder if they would have let Shakepeare die if they had been there the day of the presumed attack. I suppose they would have had to. Perhaps he really is heading up that other group.
Thanks for the information about the Staten Island zoo and the Earthlings.
The March 3rd issue of Science News cover story is on Meerkat Manor and inlcudes an interview with Tim Clutton-Brock who began the filming for Cambridge University. It also refers to an Aug 8th paper in PNAS ( Proeedings cof the National Academy of Sciences) about banished females. Science News is also at ww.sciencenews.org
It seemed extrordinary that they would cliffhang Shakespear’s fate like that and then not have the details. I’m sure they are kicking theirselves for not being in the area filming that day. It seems they aren’t really covered 24/7.
It doesn’t seem too intrusive to Avid Chip the important players on their show and thus be able to scan for a chip in that big male spotted outside their filming range.
I really appreciate finding some details about Shakespeare. Could Kitty or the blog owner (scrolled up and can’t find your name.. is it just Cpt. Platypus???) please post the link to that above mentioned discussion?
Will the Meerkats rule the world after human’s demise or galactic resettlement?
Look very closely the meerkat in the burrow with Flower’s pups is a female.
I don’t believe it was a female. I think it WAS
Shakespeare.
I love Meerkat Manor!
It’s the best show ever!
Season 3 comes next month on
the 10th.
Just a reminder that you don’t have to put the “!” after “Commandos”
And, is Shakespeare dead? Mabye or mabye not. I have heard rumors that Shakey probably became a member of another group, but but people don’t know if it is Shakespeare or not. Other rumors said it is mostly possible that Shakes died.
tragick that flower died .stupid snake at least her legend lives on and that her pups are safe.my favorite meerkat is hudini because im also a rouge like him but im not a neighbor from hell.
haha
aaaawwwwwwwww poor flower stupid snake killed her gay snake
hey everybody that sees this is sooo cool u guys rock.
What happens to meerkats when they die like Flower did? Do the others eat their bodies or what?
I can,t believe what happened to FLOWER she WAS always honoring to the whiskers and children we all miss her but she will always be in are hearts ps: shakespear is dead becase it said so on the wikipedia
I’m a big fan of this show and have watched it
weekly from the beginning but it breaks my heart
to see the reality of life in the kalahari I
CRIED OVER THE DEATH OF FLOWER AND SOBBED WHEN
MOZART WAS FOUND DEAD FROM A PREDATOR I WANTED SO MUCH FOR HER TO FINALLY FIND A MATE AND NOT BE BY HERSELF. SHE WAS MY FAVORITE OF ALL THE MEERKATS
AND I WILL MISS HER THE MOST . I DON’T THINK I
WILL BE WATCHING THIS SHOW ANYMORE MY HEART IS
BROKEN BECAUSE FLOWER DIED SHE WAS THE BEST MOM AND LEADER OF THE WHISKERS I THOUGHT THAT WAS
THE BREAKING POINT BUT TO SEE MOZART DEAD MY HEART CAN’T TAKE THIS PAIN ANYMORE .
I think that maybelline is probaly rocket dogs new mortal enemy. poor zaphod first flower died he was chased off by houdini last but least he got a nasty scrape i hope rocket dog finds a mate to in memory of flower the qeeun of the kalahari. season 4 will start febuary 4.
whats worse is that rocket dog is left with only half of the group i cant believe what maybelline has done id just like to cuddle all the pups so that maybelline comes back to the gang.so what about shakspeare and tosca? well m a reasearcher and tosca died of lonleless. and shakespeare died of a cape cobra im sorry that im rubbing this all in your face .but you who got your hopes about shakespeareto high this is your awnser. for tosca well we tried tracking her down then we found her dead body it was near vivian,commandoe, territory so she was probaly killed by the commandoes. for all of you who liked tosca this is the truth. cambridge will miss her to but shell be happy up in meerkat heaven in the dead whiskers group like yousarrian flower mozart carlos kinkajou whoopi shakespeare big si cazanna ozzie so say hi for us girl! and today is her bday happy birthday to you happy birthday to happy birthday to tosca happy birthday to you! so all fans of meerkat manor grabb a balloon and send a letter to tosca today! well i better get going now if you have any questions or comments email me at ratcliff2@cox.com
Mozart’s death is the final straw for me too. You get all tied up in these critters and they won’t live longer than a couple years. Enough pain in my real life as it is.
who ever said i was (editing out spoilers) a (editing out more spoilers) stupid piece of crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(FTFY michael. Need I remind you that episode spoilers are not allowed? -Ed.)
im sorry that i
(continued to ignore the author’s request that no spoilers be listed in the discussion threads. I also apologize for my lack of punctuation, poor grammar and spelling. I’ll be good from now on)
(FTFY as well - Ed.)
I hope that mercat manor will continue another season. we watch it all the time, thhey are like little people to us. I will be crushed if they do not continue. so true to life, birth life and death. Shakspear was my favorite.
Jackie:
their is gonna be a next season. said it was making it wright now
….
(Stop posting spoilers. I don’t care who you say is dead or alive. I just watch the show, mkay? I know were to find this information if I want it, so please stop savannah, or michael, or whoever the hell you are. Thanks. - Chris)
Chris:
why is your like name chris when you like put savannan as your name.i just went threw here there’s no savannan
(it’s not. I’m deleting entries of people who keep entering spoilers - Chris)
oooooooooooohhhhhh my bad
[Last warning before I ban you. I don't care that you say you are a researcher (your IP address says you're in Atlanta, when did the Kalihari move to Georgia?), but you spell like you're in the 4th grade and take direction like you're in 3rd. You want to talk about the show, fine, feel free. But post another spoiler and I'll add your IP address to the spam blacklist. - Chris]
Yeah, something like that. I’m a real hard a**.
People are always emailing me or posting comments about who’s alive or dead, as if it’s some secret priviledged information that only they are privvy to. Newsflash: the damn show is filmed months in advance, there are plenty of websites out there that have the information readily available (including Animal Planet), so it’s no big mystery to figure out who’s still living and who’s dead on the show. All I ask is that people not post spoilers, and I’ve asked nicely, but some people just don’t listen. I normally avoid conflict in discussion threads, but since it’s my site, I figure I’m right to interject from time to time.
ok well sis an i won’t put any spolers on this sight.
Thanks. I’m really not trying to be a jerk about it, but it annoys me when people try to ruin future episodes just because they think they have secret information about the show. Because of this, I knew Flower, Mozart, and Carlos all died this season many months before the episodes aired.
I’d have rather found out by watching the shows rather than have someone send me an email saying OMG Flower is teh dead, lolz.
hey chris:
my sis was trying to say did ya here sophie & suggs are now in the hoax group.:-(
No, didn’t hear that. I haven’t been following the activities of the clan in the offseason.
Actually I’m surprised it’s still letting you post. IP blocker was supposed to fix that. Ah well, good thing to know just in case something pops up again in the future.
Posting spoilers is just like standing up in the middle of a movie theater and shouting out the ending to the film. It doesn’t make you look smart; it makes you look like a jerk, especially when the host has requested that you not post spoilers. Repeatedly. I know where to find this information, and if I want it I’ll go get it myself, mkay?
Regarding bannination, I’d be willing to reduce it to probation. Just play nicely and be respectful.
Why no spoilers? Same reason why I take my shoes off when I visit my grandmother’s house: because I’m asked to and it’s respectful of the host’s wishes.
If people decide not to post here because of my policy, fine. Go somewhere else. I’m not that concerned.
As for being able to post while banninated, that was a glitch on my part. I’ve never had to ban anyone before, so when I set up the block I didn’t do it properly. I’m pretty sure I’ve got it now, so if you feel the urge to test me again, feel free.
I don’t think I’d want them in my house; although they’re cute and fun to watch, they probably don’t smell all that good.
Plus they eat a lot.
Dear Chris: I would like to thank you for deleting the comments from a “certain someone” that has posted on here. Some of the comments were about me, and I don’t appreciate that particular person posting such mean, vulgar things about me. They don’t know me, they’ve never met me and their behaivor was totally uncalled for.
This certain person has also turned another blog she posts at into a joke, and most of us have left because of this person.
Thanks again. I appreciate you taking those comments off this blog.
LOVE the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did not know flower had died,thats really sad…
How could you not know?
thats sad you did not know! !!!
Very sad.
I love these adorable little animals and have had the pleasure of seeing them at different zoos. I know all of Meerkat fans wants to see this series continue. I do have some concerns. One if the advertising promoting the series. Visiting New York often, I would see certain billboards depicting the Meerkats. Nothing this year. Second, the show was an hour long before. The last week was always shown first then the new episode for the new week. If you missed a week you could catch up. Not this year. Third, during the week Animal planet would show the passed episode.
My husband last night asked me if they were trying to cancel Meerkat Minor. We both have noticed the change. I know it is different from passed seasons since Sean is gone. He was absolutely wonderful. It was also so cute when the advertising would compare them to the Sopranos. The writing, music, and Sean really made this into something special. That’s why it has become so popular. Flower’s death made People magazine.
Please don’t cause this to be cancelled. These other shows can’t compare and enough enough enough of Animal Cops.
Hope you read this Aniaml Planet. All of us want Meerkat Manor to be as big a hit as it has been for the first 3 seasons.
Sanmas
meerkats are the best animals ever there my favorite
WHAT YOUR GOING TO CANCEL MEERKAT MANOR YOU CANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its the best show ever nyone who here who doesnt like the show belongs in a luni-bin.
