      It’s a myth that Racoons don’t have salivary glands. They actually do have salivary glands. They also don’t wash their food - it’s a sensory thing. They put their food in water as it’s a tactile thing, it increases their senses.

    Hate to tell you, but the pacing is probably due to a common issue with many naturally wild captive animals. Animals who lack visual stimulation begin pacing from anxiety and lack of stimulation (i.e. imagery deprivation)

    To those concerned about the animals, I just visited the meerkat cafe two days ago. Here are my observations:
    THE GOOD THINGS:
    - The very first thing guests are shown is the list of rules/regulations, which is quite thorough.
    - The place had no odor. Potty messes were cleaned up immediately.
    - There were numerous, knowledgeable attendants constantly circulating and ensuring guests were interacting safely with animals.
    - Treats were given on a seemingly scheduled basis and consisted of a variety of vegetables, pellets, grains (for the herbivores), and kibble/training treats (for the carnivores).
    - The foxes, genets, raccoon and coatimundi performed simple tricks for treats. Though it entertained the guests, the tricks were done carefully, and only intermittently, and seemed to be meant for mentally stimulating the animals.
    - The animals were in prime physical condition... I observed no obesity whatsoever (which seems rare for meerkats and raccoons especially).
    - The two foxes had a large, private run separate from the common area. They spent extended periods in the run and didn't have to be with guests all day.
    - The meerkats also had two large pens with all sorts of toys and furniture for climbing and hiding in. One pen seemed to be the private chill-out pen, and the other pen was for interacting with guests. So the meerkats seemed to be rotated between the two pens so that no single meerkat was with guests all day.
    - The cafe had very strict rules about guest behavior, including rules prohibiting loud noises and certain vocalizations (like clicking the tongue, which alarms meerkats), and also instructed how to properly touch animals.
    - Although there were different species together, they seemed very accustomed to and comfortable with each other. I saw a genet (long-nosed cat-looking thing) climbing on top of a sleepy cat and the cat did not care. lol. And the wallabies were extraordinarily chill.
    THE QUESTIONABLE THINGS:
    - Where were these animals procured? I don't know. I suspect they were bred in captivity though.
    - I don't know if the meerkats get time (after-hours) to dig in natural substrate like dirt or sand. I think they would benefit from this.
    - I also don't know if the wallabies get access to textured floor surfaces so that they can hop more freely/naturally.
    - I think the wallabies probably needed toenail trims.
    - One wallaby had a baby in her pouch, and the baby emerged for a brief time. I noticed the tip of its tail was missing. This could have been a birth defect/natural accident or a preventable accident... I can't know for sure. But the mother voluntarily interacted with humans and was chill among the other animals... So if there was an accident, she showed NO signs of lingering fear. So I dunno.

      Yeah I've visited many animal cafes in the USA. I would much rather visit in counties like S Korea or Japan...most cafes in America don't even have rules posted. So people do what they please with the animals & aren't monitored. Grabbing animals out of their beds while they sleep, kids throwing the toys around often scaring the animals etc. Now THAT made me sad.

    • @miserablydeviant3678
      @miserablydeviant3678 7 років тому +9

      I am close friends with a bengal breeder, this cat is not bengal. First of all, Bengals don't carry the Siamese (partial albinism) gene, this gene takes a few generations to show as it is recessive. Second, this cat's body structure and head shape are all wrong for a bengal cat. This cat is not bengal in the slightest, even 6 and 7 generation bengal to dsh still present the bengal features because the features are an incomplete dominance gene, meaning only one parent needs to carry a gene to express the features in order for it to present. I really highly doubt this cat has bangle in it at all.

      Ardnael Willobee Yes, it's true some "wild" animals will always need the care of human families. I adopted a baby marmoset whose mother abandoned her due to a birth defect, and she wouldn't survive in the wild. But I've also cared for wild animals who can return to their natural environments once they're old enough and/or strong enough. With those ones, it's crucial to prevent them from bonding with us humans, or else they'll end up putting themselves in danger when they're back in the wild.

      Meerkats are very sociable, they don't care. Raccoons are just super scavengers, as long as you feed them they're happy. Foxes depends on the species/taming, but kangaroos are an issue. They won't stay too small forever, so they need somewhere to go to.

That's what he does in his videos and every time he handles them, he opens his mouth for them to smell it. Digging is also in their nature, so that's why they're constantly scratching your pants. >_< And I love how one meerkat climbed on your shoulder and stood up to get a vantage point.

    I feel that as cool as it would be to go to a cafe with animals in it, i do question the welfare of said animals in those environments. While I am sure that there are some that have the animals' welfare and happiness as a top priority, there are others that are more concerned with making a buck off of the tourists at the cost of the animals' wellbeing. My advice? Do your research before you plunk down coin for one of these places. Be sure that the animals you came to see are not being treated like crap behind the scenes.

    Meerkats are NOT supposed to be pets!!! My stepdad has a meerkat rescue and he often gets them from people who rescued them because they were thrown away by their priviouse owners (cound't handle them anymore) or from the owners themselve who thought they were so cute at first... but when they grow up they are mostly not and they even start biting theire owners (espacially when they become teens).
    People bring these little fellas to my stepdads lodge (Namibia), where they can form new groups and get set free after a while. They even come around for a visit once in a time ^^
    But it would be a good thing if that "meerkats are pets" thinking could be shut down! Because they are NOT!!!
    PLEASE INFORM YOURSELF first and don't support these kind of cruel things!
    Kind regards

    Shouldn't those animals have some natural sand and other natural things to play on? As good and well fed they seem to look.. They need that. Not some fancy or good looking furnuture or floors all day long.
    If you're really animal lover you wouldn't NEVER EVER go to those places. Wild animals don't belong there. Even if those animals would have been unfit to wild cause they're wounded or something - they should be in animal sanctuary where they can make the animals lives as natural it can be.

      Minah Raven these cafes are cruel, if an animal misbehaves or uses its instincts, they don't feed it for a day or beat it. They let humans put bright lights in their faces and take pictures. If you truly believe this is cute, shame on you.

    • @melododie
      @melododie 6 років тому +3

      Please try not to support cafes keeping wild animals in cafes because they should be in the wild or in a sanctuary if they need to be. I think this because they probably would prefer to be in their natural habitat or at least have a more suitable area to live in.
      You should go to a good zoo or sanctuary to see them in a more natural habitat. They're probably more happy there.

    • @harrypotter2700
      @harrypotter2700 6 років тому +2

      It's very possible that they're rescued animals who were injured when young and completely unable to live in the wild. Now, I do think their environments should be more appropriate to their needs, but still, I think that we should hear more information before we're so quick to judge.
