It must be damn near impossible to resist petting them
You must need alot of discipline to be a wildlife photographer.
I’m still wondering why
They can't resist petting Will
surely one careful pet would be okay?
Yeah not cool to touch wildlife of any kind. Especially young ones. You can pass on diseases that would otherwise be harmless to us
Hands up if you would totally volunteer to be a meerkat watchtower for a day.
#LifeGoals
Immediately; that would be so marvelous

For a day? I would turn up everyday T.T
Wow. You know you're trusted when the momma Meercat allows her babies around you.
Those pups are absolutely adorable. I miss Meerkat Manor.
Hilarious. You're supposed to be photographing them and one is sitting on top of your camera looking out like "what are we taking a picture of?"
Connda Pierce. That shot was just hilarious 😂👍
Well said😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏
LOVED IT!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"they've learned humans aren't really a threat" ... oh boy, lucky species, not many can say that.
@LagiNaLangAko23 a specific group of people*
im sure no human needs to kill and/or eat a meerkat.
Thomas Berger clearly the Chinese. Wonder how that corona virus came to be. 🤦♂️
@@MsMrapplepie
Especially those 'exotic & endangered species' eater.
Gosshh why did these ppl exist.
Can't they just stick to readily-available menu(chicken,fish,cow)??
Dereenaldo Ambun Apparently not. They think it’s a game, and now they’re suffering for it. Bat soup? Really? A bat has no meat on its body and obviously has no real nutritional value yet they eat that nasty shit anyways. It blows my mind.
Yeah, they are absolutely awesomely adorable. Thank you photographers for giving us 'city folks' such a treat. It's gotta be hard refraining from wanting to cuddle & pet them.
*The beauty of this video is off the charts!*
Ur English is too good ✨✨✨😊
@@adityanarayan3213 it's a google translator)
"They allow us to get really close to them" -> Shot of Meerkats using the human as platform to see further.
Meerkats use human being as watch towers !
@@gfakruddinahmad8316 😆😂🤣
Quite smart of them really, they probably have observed enough to know that they are less likely to get picked off of a human than a tree from a bird of prey so a human is a somewhat safer sentry perch.
XD
"We allow them to get really close to us" more like.
Thank you!!!
hi im early
Hi I'm early too
Hello
Yo
me too
OMG, the cuteness makes my heart melt. Their little chirping and curiosity. I'd love to hold one and snuggle.
Meerkats are vicious, intelligent and utterly adorable .... :-)
What a privilege it must have been to spend time with them ...
😀exactly, we think they're adorable, partly because they're no threat to us, but I'll bet the local lizards, scorpions, & bugs have a different opinion of these voracious little hunters
Meerkat: [jumps on the camera, on you] This hooman is very useful.
GIGGLE 😆😂🤣 The meerkats realize that you are not a threat, but make very handy lookout posts, shade, and company 😆😂🤣
As well as portable trees 🤣
Lol seems we are not the only one studying other species 😂
They're just beyond adorable. The little sounds they make are so cute. 😊
their trusting nature simply melts heart.
My new behind-the-scenes video...
Taking liberties is right! They just walk all over you!
***** I didn't pet them... probably would have bitten me! Fortunately no bathroom incidents either :)
Two people gave this video the thumbs down on UA-cam. How?
very very cute I love this video
Hi Wil, One of our members over at liveleak.com has shared your video on our website and we'd like to feature it on our front page, but for that it needs to be uploaded directly. i'd appreciate if you could get back to me as soon as possible. i left a message on your website with my phone number and email.

I'm a full grown manly man but I can't resist going "awwwww!
gay
Johnny Threefour fuck off men can think things are cute to, we think ladies are cute why can't we think a little fury animal is cute.
Johnny Threefour well you might think those things are cute becuase that's what came to YOUR mind when thinking of something cute but I think of dogs and meerkats
@@johnnythreefour2902 fuck. Do you think only females likes cute things? Get the fuck out of here
@@johnnythreefour2902 I don't understand. What does "loving cute animals" has anything to do with "being gay" ? They are two different things, aren't they?
Как природа облагораживает человека.Какой огромный положительный эмоциональный заряд получил фотограф от нескольких минут прямого общения с этими забавными зверьками.А благодаря ему, и мы.Большое спасибо.
Their absolutely beautiful little guys, and smart !
Meerkats: You want me to be your photo model?
Literally make some perfect pose as a wild animal and stay still.
Thanks DailyDose for helping me find these amazing creators 👍
haha same
Same
Not creators it's creatures
Thank you for bringing into my evening some kindness and seeing those delightful meerkats.
Australia
Wildlife Photography is a wonderful profession. Its so peaceful, requires patience, dedication, no alteration with nature, just mesmerising moments being captured.
Issac Newton: "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants."
Meerkats: "We literally have seen further by standing on this photographer."
LOL
Wow lmfao
Meerkats for the win :)
Amazing to see them taking no notice of you at all, must have been a wonderful experience being so close with these wonderful little creatures :)
I have a little 1 1/2 year old Dachshund that sits up like this for long periods much of the time, he is not begging but just seems comfortable in that 'pose'.
Such a darling sight he makes even the worst days a little more light hearted and crankiest folks smile, he has been compared to a meercat several times!
God bless you!
Take care of your little friend and create as much beautiful memories as possible! Wish you the best for 2020 :-)
01:20 *That's a cool stabilizer. I need one asap!* 😲
it's more of a destabilizer, tbh :-)
Cuteness overload.
Will, I've been following your emails for a year or two and love all the photos and write-ups you publish. This meerkat vid is an instant favorite. I will share this with my young kids who are sure to ooh and ahh! Thanks for posting!
thanks Jon :)
How......how can you resist cuddling, hugging, petting, and holding these baby meerkats?! I couldn't do it. I simply could not. There's just too much cute. Cute level 90000000000000.
This is just as cute as it gets out in the wild....so wonderful to see
Meerkats are awesome.
Now thats a refreshing comment.... They have learnt that humans don't want to harm them. Wish that was true for elephants and rhinos.
kelvynification and cows and pigs and all other animals
@@helenlucka Those has been domesticated for our consumption. Elephants and rhinos on the other hand arent.
Why would a Rhino harm a meerkat? xD
@@johoreanperson8396 Humans used to hunt elephant's in the ice age and in the past, and they also kinda domesticated mastodons. Hunting elephants is nothing new tbh
Well if a male rhino or a female rhino with a baby spot you they will try to charge and kill you if your in their territory
Violence towards other species isn't a one way street
At one point do we acknowledge that cuteness has become a survival trait when in proximity to humans? If you're cute, not only will most humans not threaten you, but they'll actively try to protect cute animals from dangerous ones.
You mean the cuteness that makes so many of them a huge target for illegal pet trade ? Or Chinese medicinal market ?
This is one of the very, very, VERY few instances where some of my hope for humans as a whole has been restored 🥰
Amazing, I love how they were standing on the camera!
omg, what an awesome job. and those meerkats are beyond adorable
Maravilloso, curiosos, adorables, preciosos, cariñosos, increíbles y tiernos. Gracias, un súper vídeo. 💞🥰💖🇨🇱
I go.... aww and immediately press the like button. I'm sure no one can resist loving this little obnoxious and mischievious but curious and cute creatures.
cuteness alert: you will say awwwwww
😄😄Meercat: "you point, I'll look"😄🙃🤣🙃😄🐾😸
"They work with you and on you" a working day of a Meercat 😄😇💞🇦🇺👍😸
I wouldn't be able to resist petting them.
How absolutely precious! They look so fluffy!
Definitely the most adorable thing I've seen so far this month!
I adore meerkats. Here's one getting his tummy tickled.
47 scorpions watched this video.
😂
73 with their sons
Some snakes who got their asses bitten, came too, to downvote 87
@@sanSDI lol xD
5 Years later and it looks like a few more have not liked this xD
Soooo sweet, simply an overdose of cuteness.
I saw a multi-part special on these amazing creations years ago. They are endearing and utterly fascinating!!!
OMG......what an amazing experience, spending time with these amazing animals, so up close.
Looks like they consider you as part of the family. How awesome is that !!!!
Camera: probs costs in the thousands and is made to capture the highest quality of photos
Meerkats: stands on it as a lookout post
Camera: *am I a joke to you?*

These are the cute little creatures that are standing up in the beginning of the Lion King movie as the Circle Of Life is being played!!!😍
"Hey! This big thing is warm. We should totally sit on it." ~Any cat, ever.
magical moment ... I am in love with these adorable animals
What an amazing experience! You are so privileged to be so close to nature and to not have it fear you.
Now I want to ad "meerkat standing on my head" to my list of do's..........
Adorable meerkats. Notice the angelic expression on our photog s face!!! Thank the good Lord for them all!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think I watched this 6 times before I could talk myself into clicking out - THUMBS UP
I watched it 4 times straight
Five years later: UA-cam, watch these meerkats
Wow!. They're nice.. I never knew they were so friendly. So Beautiful!
they are sooo cute! Thanks for sharing your great video and love that you captured their funny noises - murmurs, chirps, and growls!
said the Meekrat on top of the camera ""Whatcha look'n at fella?
King Julien: Look Maurice, a human cushion. Jump Maurice! Hands up and jump.
@@crouton547 he is. Timone is the meerkat
So truly lucky to spend your day with presious precious life.
They are SO adorable ! I've always liked them
How do you get any work done? :p
I'd like but it's at 69
he only does work on recording then after that its petting time
NO KIDDING!!
Thanks Will Burrard-Lucas .Be friendly and lovely

The thumbnail itself could perhaps win a wildlife photography contest.
meerkats are the only animals that can get along with human and give their service free of cost 😁
I just love keeping up with the two of you! You guys are brilliant! I especially love your beetle cam shots! As soon as the first came out I just wanted one of those beetle cam's SO BAD! STILL WANT ONE! You guys are AWESOME! Thanks so much for all of your lovely photography and for sharing it so generously with the world!
Thanks :)
Ordinary animals: this is a human, i must be extremely careful.
Meerkats: BRO, DIDN'T YOU SEE MY BREAKFAST?!! WOW, COOL CAMERA, DUDE!!!
I could watch this footage all day!!!
I love it!!I have a Maltese dog named JB n each morning I come downstairs to greet him he ALWAYS stands on his hind legs like a meerkat. I call JB my meerkat. He also motions with his paws. He quite often likes to stand on his hind legs and he's good at it. LOL...
Meerkats : lemme pose for your video, buddy!!
Absolutely adorable, I just lowered my blood pressure by watching this video, I’m totally cured, I’m going to flush my meds down the toilet.
Meercats remind me of prairie dogs. I live in Western Colorado around Prairie Dog towns. A nickname for them are American Meercats. Meercats look bigger on TV, I watched Meercats feeding once at a zoo, it was a neat experience.
MEERKATS are so cute,and very smart,enjoyed when you filmed🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾☘🇺🇸
73 dislikes? Outrageous!
probably by falcons
They must be Eagles😂..BBC is messing with their snacks..lol
people who can't pet them
Bruh i love your pic and your username hahaha
Lickin that Chikin how can people dislike this
I wonder if teaching Meercats that humans aren't a threat might be bad down the road?
Ahhh, those baby meerkats are too cute.
How fantastic this is. Very sweet indeed. This makes my day ! Thank you for sharing this joyful moment.
Wonderful and amazing animals ❤️👌
Le photographe Will Burrard-Lucass’est offert la séance photo de sa vie dans la région de Makgadikgadi au Botswana, alors qu’il prenait en photo une famille de suricates (meerkats en anglais). Ces derniers n’ont rien trouvé de mieux que de lui monter sur la tête et sur le téléobjectif afin de lui témoigner leur sympathie. Quels animaux fabuleux!
hi miss you
Aunchalee Kanlapaphrek . Hello mon amie. Je pense à vous. Vous êtes une amie très gentille, et pleine de délicatesse. Amicalement bise du Québec. By.

love you lovely friend ...you know ...
ils ne sont pas si craintifs que çà , mais plutot curieux !
Brigitte Uras . J'adore c'est petite bête ils sont à Croqué.
Sitting on his back is the safest that cat will ever be.
It is amazing the have figured that out.
Amazing. Even the wild animals trust you when you love them.
right on! what a cool experience!! thx for sharing.
This is the type of relationship I envision animals having with humans. A neutral arbitrator of sorts. I really think it's possible even with the top predators. Predators would just walk by us totally ignoring us and going for wild game instead. Maybe now and then ask for guidance. Like instead of getting territorial warfare we can help them efficiently find a better place with abundant resources to settle.
I can see why they're his favourite animal, they're so adorable and inquisitive. My favourite animal is a hyena but I wouldn't want one that close me. 😂❤🥰
Man: let’s do wildlife photography
Meerkat: ok, i got your back. Surveillance is ready.
This video makes almost anyone smile. Lmao
Just "Lion King" Movie 🎬 came in my mind.. #Timon family
*🥰Hakuna 😍Matata..*
I wish humans were like this with all animals in such a peaceful connection.
that is overloaded of cuteness
When you realize that this man is just an actor, while real photographer was behind the lenses capturing these moments.
"Hey guys! The mobile watch-towers are back!"
You and meerkats are awesome
I live in a townhouse complex in south Johannesburg. We have them coming to visit us in the car park! I adore them.
It's just tooooo Cute !! >_
I wonder if he's a green lantern (Because it is almost impossible not to pet those cute guys)
They are just so cute!!!
So sweet the little Gang Meerkats 👍👍👍 WONDERFUL PHOTOS 👌✌
