He’s using him as an observation tower. They are too cute.😂
It's so funny ..
I'm so glad this reappears in my recommendations from time to time.
The whiskers. THE WHISKERS.
🤣🤣🤣
And then one of the camera men builds a tree stand.
Meerkats: MINE MINE MINE!
hahha..
Hahaha 😅😅
"Hey guys! Those mobile watch-towers are back!"
Cheetahs do the same thing~ Once they get used to the camera crews, they hop up onto the Jeeps and cars and use them as mobile survey platforms. ^w^
Kawaiiiiiii! X3
😂😂
@@alexisgrunden1556 i know this is two years late but I love your profile picture, Luna moths are my favourite kind of moth 💖
😀😂😅
I wouldn’t mind having a meerkat use me as a watch tower .
Yeah!! Well! u've gotta look out for pee pee and poo poo 😂😂
Yea untill they poo on you lol 😐
Till it spots a tiger right? Cus its not going to say "tiger" it will just go down its burrow
@@zahmbohddie4004 haha but sadly there is no tiger in africa 😂😂😂
Use me as your watchtower daddy 😩
Having the photographers around would also keep some predators away, so it's like a semi symbiotic relationship: photographers get to study the meerkats, and the meerkats get some protection and height advantage.
That's an interesting thought: that by being there filming them in what's supposed to be a neutral way, they are becoming part of the meerkats' way of life. So it's not neutral anymore, and... Oh, what a headache, I'm gonna lie down.
@@miguelbranquinho7235If you consider humans are a natural product of the planet and part of nature, even though our presence might seem "artificial" - in the sense that we have have technology and an intellect that places us far outside the fight for survival like most wild animals - we're still very much a part of the natural world.
The same way a clam might synthesise minerals into pearls, humans have simply figured out how to synthesise natural materials into all manner of fantastic shapes and purposes, from early stone tools to modern fuels and electricity, complete with the technology that brings.
It's all still taking place within the framework of a natural world with natural minerals and processes, we've just harnessed them to an extreme degree.
The only way humans and our actions could be see as "unnatural" would be if our origins were interstellar and not native to planet Earth... right?
@@DisemboweII Well said, agreed.
@@miguelbranquinho7235 I take it you get Migraines also?
@@shawncollier571 No it was a goof, a gag.

Burst No! Not THAT one! It'll blow us up immediately!
"human, dont mind me, carry on with whatever you're doing, i just need to get a better view of things. Dont move now"
...and the cameraman will capture how majestic i am."
"Ive filmed with elephants, gorillaz, bears, and none of them have ever sat on my head"
I sure hope not bro
Oh boy this made me laugh so hard
Gorillaz is a great band, would be very difficult to support them all over your head
I m laughing hard
Ok

Meerkats be like: 'Move over Spielberg, it's my turn to direct the next blockbuster!
The body language of meerkats is funny. They scan for predators in a comical way.
No regard for stealth
lmao standing out in the open like captain america
SCURRY, SNIFF, FLIIIINCH!
I want to study animal behavior. Translation: I want meerkats standing in my head.
*In* your head?

"Swift is taking shade at our director's buttocks"
🤣🤣🤣 WHERE DO I SEND THEM MY MONEY
Mia that's some substantial shade 😂
Don't be silly. What's a meerkat going to do with money?
Buy a meerkat sized umbrella
Where’s my money biatch !
Mail them your buttock.
so cute but yet so damn funny how did you guys keep a straight face
British
I never realized how small meerkats actually were until now
Mee too, smoll and cute😂
I guess you are confused between otters and meerkats.
@@pankaj3601 otter is usually in water
Small and adorable🥰
The thing is it's always zoomed in so everytime I see meerkats which are filmed by bbc earth or any other such companies, I always think it's around 1m tall.
"That's some substantial shade"
This works on multiple levels.
I know! I love how people from other cultures throw shade at each other lol. That was brilliant
@@robb4951it was a joke about the director having a big ass idk what ur on about
I wonder if his buddy is still on good terms with him after that remark.
Crazy how the meerkats know that he wasn’t a threat.
00:41, meerkats have been studied for decades and are completely habituated to humans, not so crazy
RIXRADvidz obviously, in the wild there life expectancy is like 7 years?? Who’s to say the gang knew about humans. Neither of us know. They don’t live for decades..
those meerkats are paid actors¡ _THAT_ is why!
sailaab actually off to bed now, but.. can you compare actors 😋😂
@@kerrykambitis I believe species wide information is sent through some form of singular "basic" consciousness. I mean, basic programming is already there to start with, whose to say that new information can't be added to it? The examples are there and the research can be done.
Humans: The ultimate apex predator, conquerors of the world, annihilators of entire species as far back as 10,000 years
Meerkat: Gonna c l i m b
Even as powerful as humans are there not actually considered apex predators. Are strength is below average for our size as a mammal, we don’t have sharp teeth, we can’t run insanely fast, we’re an omnivore. We use tools and strategy in order to rule over the animal kingdom
@@bigfloppa5731 we can craft and use tools, that's why human *are* apex predators
ŚparrowYT actually our innate physical ability is much better than you think. For instance we have the highest running endurance of any other mammal. No seriously we can outrun horses, wolves, deer. Not run FASTER than them, but for longer. In fact in some less developed countries people still do this, they chase down an animal till the animal gets tired. It’s just that humans overtime have gotten lazier and lazier due to technology, and we no longer naturally build muscle we now rely on weights and other “faster” methods. Not to mention all the genetically modified foods were forced to eat. It’s really our own fault we’re no longer able to physically compete with animals.
CruiseCraft YT technology has barely been around and we haven’t evolved to become slower or anything like that that just people being fat
ŚparrowYT well not necessarily just that. Our bodies have adapted to our newer and much more convenient life styles. We no longer have to all maintain farms and do a bunch of physical work. Even the way we build muscle has changed. Rather than naturally building muscle we force our bodies into it at the gym. So yeah all that accumulates over time and as our bodies adapt to those circumstances... yeah we do literally become slower.
It goes without saying that these Meerkats ‘sometimes’ innocent nature & friendliness is charming and adorable, but let’s pray they never run into a malevolent human! 🫨
Until the mother meerkat is ready to throw the daughter meerkats out when she's pregnant to eliminate competition. Then things turn pretty ugly. Look it up when you get a chance. Very interesting.
@@clom3637 There might be more in Timon's past which wasn't shown in LK3.
The type of humans that need a new pair of fur winter gloves.
@@BORISTIMUS that sounds like nature tho. humans have malice, so they could harm the animals for fun lmao. a hawk eating a meerkat is for survival. human harming a meerkat is merely play, unless they live in the wild and need to eat
I assure you, they aren't constantly standing up observing the lands in fear of humans.
This is such a joyful video. It has me smiling ear to ear! So charming! 😂
Same 😁😃😄
Meerkat: That's a weird looking rock, but it seems pretty normal whatsoever
I Love The Way They Take Care Of Their Family. A Little Society With Wisdom. 🥰🤗🥰
So cute. I took a psychology course…animal behaviour. The prof said she studied meerkats once and had some. They’d take turns watching for predators and there was a warning call in the case of danger. One of them always made that call when he was the lookout. They’d scatter and nothing would happen. They learned to ignore him. Haha he was just being a jerk
whats the mating call like?
@@wintonsam496 she didn’t tell us that but you can probably google it
@@robingagan6288 why would she leave out the most important thing?, the call that creates life, thats odd if u ask me.
@@wintonsam496 she was just telling us a funny story about their different personalities
It was a psychology class, not biology
I like this story. A meerkat who cries Wolf, lol. 👍🏼
Did he secretly just call his director THICC? xD
Es Richard Hammond just did that
Wasn't really all that secret.
No, he just called him fat
'Substantial butt'...yes he did.
Haha! yes and it was brilliant
What we think: “aww they wanna say hi”
What they think: “wonder if we can make a burrow in this thing”
uh oh stinky
there already is one
two if you're a chick
Doesn't matter how many times I watch this, just love and makes my day......wish I'd been on those shoots.
"There's some substantial shade there"
I guess we can say he was throwing some... "shade" 😎

They are so trusting and adorable. :)

さんまからくるな笑
I feel like these are perfect prints of our ancestors. I can see my great nth grandparents being like this.
Every other animal throughout tens of thousands of years: "be careful these humans are unpredictable, tread lightly"
Meerkats after 20 years: "ThIS wiLL mAke a FiNE aDDitioN tO tHE LanDScApE!"
That's hilarious looking out for danger off the camera mans head they're like little humans
fbghetto5 Why does Humans always have to compare other animals with humans?
@@LadySamurai88 Because we like to project ourselves onto others that is all we humans know
fbghetto5 We are animals too if some of us like it or not.
A lot of our behavior is animal behavior that some wild animals do too.
It’s sad (to me at least) to say that they look a lot like humans.
Don’t mean it in a bad way tho 😁
@@LadySamurai88 humans like to humanize things
even non living things
@@LadySamurai88 nooo
humans aren't animals anymore
our self awarness is a testament to that
anyone who still thinks humans are animals at this point need to be lock in an ACTUAL zoo.
Какие они милые))
That meerkat at the top of the guy,
"Dude i just cleared a watch tower."

Que privilégio desses fotógrafos, poderem interagir, ficarem tão próximos, até tocar, caso seja permitido, em criaturinhas tão magníficas !!!
“Dude i found the BEST lookout hill!”
About ten yrs ago?…. I watched this every morning on Nat Geo? I wanted so bad to live there just so I could be with them. They are truly the sweetest and funniest little creatures. I love them. ❤️
Jodi:
Saw same series and also fell in love with meerkats!
They are just fascinating!
Same, and they truly are!
Stay at your natural habitats girl....
They are cute but definitely not sweet I loved meerkat Manor too nothing related to rikky tikky tavi is sweet there BADASSES
If that's your idea of heaven I bet you'll get it 😊
Meetcats are adorable. 🤗 I wish i could visit them just to watch what they do 🤗
The best thing is that you are protected if they are with you
Life goals: to have a meerkat trust me enough to use my head as a perch.
and he did not pee on that head ! respect there.
Now why we don't appreciate the cameraman who ACTUALLY have to stay at same place without moving for hours just to take close shots
Good point. But I'm amazed at some people's interest in animals
@@boobindarpussiya7464 I meant cameraperson community as a whole not just this guy
probably have lap cats at home as practice
..wouldn't that make military snipers the best wildlife cameramen, then?
"...A tall cameraman makes a perfect vantage point to scan for predators." Oh the irony, the little guy is literally standing on top of the most dangerous predator.
Add to that the irony that the danger we pose is completely unrelated to direct hunting of meerkats, we threaten their species just due to the side effects of our own existence.
Phillip Mele people do hunt them thi
Most dangerous? Pfff! More like most situational predator...an unarmed human is as dangerous as a piece of feces drying on the sun if we make it face a lion or a bear. A human can't be considered a predator by nature but more like a plague

"That's some substantial shade there."
In every sense of the word, yes.
Oh gorgeous, gorgeous, this makes me feel warm and happy. No body killing anybody!
Meerkat Manor. Flower, I miss you.
At least they got the high ground.
I couldn't get enough of this show when it was on, bring back the meerkats please!
I image him having his grandchildren around and telling them; “Once a meerkat used my head as a watch tower”.
I would love to have a few meerkats as pets. They are fascinating little creatures.
"I've been lucky enough to film with elephants, gorillas, bears and none of them ever sat on head..."
I surely hope so, good sir. That would be very, very unpleasant. 😂

Thats some substantial shade 💀
He just threw some substantial shade
Couldn't tell who was cuter - the cameraman or the meerkat!
I think the photographer just threw some “substantial shade” at the director.
He makes for a very high vantage point for a look out
Meerkat: Let me stand on your head..

@@jebemtimater9124 look up on UA-cam "attack on Titan opening" and you will understand.
True. LoL
These critters are dangerously cute.
Meerkat: Oh, that’s Todd he’s chill. Perfectly useful as a watchtower and shade post.
No idea how many times i have watched this clip. Never gets old. Thanks for this.
What a nice break from all the crummy things going on at the present time. I never realized how friendly these little guys can be!
friendly is relative,, if humans say was 1-2 inch tall, WE would be on the meerkat's diet. hehe
I went to a meerkat cafe in Seoul. After a few minutes of just sitting in their enclosure all of them decided to hop in my lap and sleep while one stood on my knee as lookout. They kept making little happy noises and snuggling up to me. ☺️
Lee Mana - Geez. I hope you got a photo!!
I wonder if anyone watched Meerkat Manor. It was a documentary about a couple of rival meerkat families. Sean Austin was the narrator. It was several seasons long and a wonderful story.
I used to love that show
I watched it
So did the youngest of both families fall in love and had a tragic ending ?
I didn't miss a week of it. I can still watch episodes in UA-cam.
isn't that what they're filming?
Eu amo este bichinho, admiro a esperteza, o qto são sencíveis!!
My mom and I used to watch this show so much. It is so cool to see the families and they're all so stinking adorable.
I used to watch it also.
He's actually looking out for anything that could harm his friend. "Nothing to worry mate it's my turf, I got you"
Не видела ничего подобного!! Супер!👍😁 респект снимающим видео!👍👍👍
He is like let me have a better look of the world from cameraman's head..
Meerkat: *_"This cameraman is great for a turret"_*
I bet he's glad that he's never been 'lucky enough' to have an elephant sit on his head.🤨
Elephant 😀😀😀
Think he meant your mum
@@CalMillward naw he meant my ex in-laws to be. The whole damn clan looked like they belong in seaworld.
Or bears or gorillas. I mean why would he use those animals as an example of things he wants to be on his head lmao
@@nudgeone7927 Exactly.
This is a clear example of mutualism

Flower’s bloodline lives on!
Rest In Peace Kalahari Queen
♥️♥️♥️i loved to watch that show so much, good times
I was scrolling for this comment! I loved that show so much.
I honestly cried when I learned of her death years ago 😭 I *adored* that show so much!
Weird thing I learnt about Meerkat Manor is multiple meerkats would actually "play" the same character. Of course for mains like Flower, it was the same meerket, but for others it could be two or four different meerkats with the same name.
The wiki itself is also pretty depressing given so many of the meerkats go missing and are never seen again.
Meerkat Manor was my jam! That first season was insane. Reality tv meets nature. I was pissed when Youssarian caused the death of one of the babies. For a while after when I got frustrated I would yell 'stupid meerkat!'
He sat on your head so he could see farther 🤣❤
The film crew is certainly the high point of a meerkat's day.
🥁
Meerkat: comes and stands on the head.
Music director: Cowboy music will do
"Swift is taking shade in the shadow of the directors buttocks" best line in any documentary anywhere!
Meerkat stands on guy's head: "I can see my house from here!"
Nope
He can see Russia from there
Narrated by Richard Hammond, Britain's most famous Meerkat-sized television presenter.
The meerkats have been running their own studies on us this entire time.
Cute💖💖
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die".
BUT, mercy said "I dont want to give them what they deserve. I don't want them to be cut off from Me. I love them despite all they have done/will do against Me. I want to give My children another chance. I want them to come home and live in My love again".
And love said "Jesus, God's Son, came down as a Man, our representative, suffering every temptation, pain and struggle we have ever faced, yet without sin. He took all our sins (past/present/ even future) to the cross and then crucified EVERY ONE on our behalf. Justice was paid on the cross so that we can be free from Hell's punishment, experience Gods mercy of forgiveness of sin and live in His love. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (turn away from our sin and pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life.
He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through Him (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to obey His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and ask Him to help us in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, or struggling or doubtful, simply be honest and tell Him that. He is not intimidated by ANY sin or struggle you are facing. ANY. He hears and will answer. If we pray for Him to come in, regardless of the condition, then He will.
NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER.
