And they are tasty too.

No love for warthogs?

We have a lame zoo



Larry the 3 legged meerkat.

IMDWalrus: No love for warthogs?

Hey, hakuna matata.

They wouldn't be so popular if people were fully aware of how important infanticide is to their social order.

Meerkaturday?

/ My god! It's mutated!

Ah, fuzzy Valium

fark meerkats, Penguins are better.

And they taste just like chicken.

gregscott: They wouldn't be so popular if people were fully aware of how important infanticide is to their social order.

and humans are different how?

Noway, eff Meerkats!

Flemish giants, Joel!

Oh Jesus, are we going to start having Katurday, now?

Flemish Giants: somewhat less destructive than human children, and the pictures are terrific!

Caturday is so over.....

I'm sorry: is that a colossal bunny-dong, or have I just got dong on the brain?

/uh huh huh uh huh uh huh huh
//dude, you said dong

In gloomy times, meerkats have a unique power to make us happy.

Boy, am I out of sync with the world. I haven't given meerkats more than 2 minutes of total thought in my entire life. Well, 3 minutes, now.

Dorkus_Malorkus: I'm sorry: is that a colossal bunny-dong, or have I just got dong on the brain?

/uh huh huh uh huh uh huh huh
//dude, you said dong


You're just jealous.

tl;dr

Seriously, that's a lot of words just to say "meerkats are cute".

Meerkats are cool, but mongooses are cooler.

Assuming I'm seeing that correctly: you damn right I'm jealous.

/Well, 'envious' really, but yeah.

The densest ditzism I ever heard was someone asking a lady from the subcontinent, "You speak Indian don't you? Which is right, mongooses or mongeese?"

You can probably guess which of the was a blond.

aerojockey: Meerkats are cool, but mongooses are cooler.

Meerkats are cool, mongooses are cooler, but ferrets are coldest.

Meerkats always cheer you up, unless your watching one get horribly murdered.

/seriously, every time my dad watches meerkat manor, someone gets bitten by a snake in the face.

.....dirty snake in the face.

Just checking in on this thread...

Growing up, I have no memory of EVER seeing any meerkats, not at the zoo, not at the circus, not on television. As far as I can tell, the species did not come into existence until 1994.

Anyway, I came up with the "Meerkat Manor Drinking Game". Reeeeaaal easy. All you have to do is drink every time the narrator uses the word "abandoned".

Meerkats are the coolest animals ever. I want a whole gang for my backyard. Where can I purchase a group? DO they have group discounts? What do they eat? Can I feed them leftovers?

Important questions need to be answered.

i think it's sitting on top of a stuffed animal or a pillow

My son sleeps with a meercat plush toy. It's very cute.

And they play guitar...

Approves.
/hot

They don't look like they have a lot of meat on them. You'd need several for a decent meal.

Why are meerkats hot? Because so many people have yet to discover the fennec.

When did this madness begin? The meerkats' star has reached new heights but the animals first peered into our lives more than 20 years ago when David Attenborough introduced us to the curious creatures in the BBC documentary, Meerkats United.

Attenborough must have read Andre Norton's Beastmaster, published in 1959, which features two meerkats. The '80s craptastic movie by the same name used ferrets not meerkats.

DeaH: Why are meerkats hot? Because so many people have yet to discover the fennec.

Don't pour water on that thing, or feed it after midnight!

Okay, granted I'm not one to root for Disney's cultural imperialism, but how can you have a 22 paragraph article on meerkats in popular culture and NOT have a reference to Timon from "The Lion King"? Seriously?

What a mere cat may look like:

Mouser: Okay, granted I'm not one to root for Disney's cultural imperialism, but how can you have a 22 paragraph article on meerkats in popular culture and NOT have a reference to Timon from "The Lion King"? Seriously?

Err, FTA: "As soon as the meerkats come out the kids go crazy and start shouting ," Ryan says. "We used to talk about Timon, the meerkat in The Lion King, but we're going to change the script and use Aleksander."

I know for a fact that socialists and communists only like to see meerkats in zoos because...

(drum roll)

They don't believe in the free meerkat!

(boom-tish)

oops, my bad. That's the problem with 22 parargraph articles--you about need Find/Replace to check for references.
