Hey all of you Animal Planet lovers…on January 27th, Meerkat Manor Season 4: The Next Generation makes it’s debut from Genius Products and Animal Planet. If you’re wondering what a meerkat is, Wikipedia says it’s a small mammal and member of the mongoose family inhabiting parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana and South Africa. Here is a little more information about the upcoming DVD release:
Meerkat Manor is a docu-series that has been nominated for multiple Emmy Awards. The series returns following the tragic death of everyone’s favorite, Flower. The leadership of the Whiskers clan is assumed by her daughter Rocket Dog. Emmy winner and Oscar nominee Stockard Channing narrates the next chapter in the Whiskers family’s struggle for dominance and survival in the Kalalhari Desert. Meerkat Manor is filmed using state of the art camera technology above and below ground. By tracking the group’s movements 24 hours a day, the beloved series paints a dramatic picture of the Whiskers’ highly complex and social lives, conveying an archetypal tale of family feuds and fierce factions that threaten to destroy the clan.
You can purchase Meerkat Manor starting January 27th for $24.95.

Meerkats eat scorpions without getting poisoned.
I have only seen clips of this show — when Flower died, mostly — as I do not have cable or satellite TV. It’s looks fascinating and I’d love to own at least one season’s worth of it. I learned that Meerkats are related to mongooses (mongeese?) and I am going to back to continue my exploration of meerkat anatomy!

I learned that meerkats are amazingly altruistic creatures. Adult meerkats will feed hungry young, even if they are not their own. They also take turns volunteering for guard duty, even though they are missing out on valuable foraging time. Fascinating little critters. Thank you for the chance to win.
My family enjoys watching this show. I learned that meerkats have developed a technique for handling the venom found in scorpions they commonly eat.
cousins of the mongoose —
facinating little creatures!
I thought it was interesting that members of the family can be banned and must go off and start their own colony.

Meerkats have developed tight-knit societies that consistently display random acts of kindness.
Sounds like we could learn a lot from them.
I’m following you on Twitter and I tweeted the contest. (slmiresse)
Meerkats attack snakes through a method called mobbings. It helps to protect the meerkats and make them look bigger while scaring the snake off.
I did not know that The Whiskers matriarch Flower died…and the family was left in shambles. Also did not know that Stockard Channing was the narrator. Looks like a really good series.
Meerkats are highly socialble.
WE used to own ferrets – these meerkats remind me of our pets.
I learned from Wilson:
Cut from a different cloth than his black-hearted Commando parents, Wilson has grown into the latest Kalahari Casanova. This handsome young kat is perfecting the love ’em and leave ’em art of the rover. His claim to fame? Two sisters in one afternoon.
When Wilson shows up, you can bet there’s love in the dunes. This crafty kat has all the right moves to evade angry fathers and overprotective brothers while wooing innocent babysitters.
You see, my last name is Wilson and we love the meerkcat Wilson because he is like my husband (ROFL!). Okay all joking aside we humans could really learn a lot from Meerkats, the sociability, the family values, everything we are turning out not to be nowadays they are.
Thank you for the chance to win Rockin’ Mama, I have a Animal Planet lovin’ family at my house, especially our son, so we would love to win.
Meerkats (or Suricata suricatta) are about the size of a squirrel, although they’re actually relatives of the mongoose. They have only four toes on each foot, and they stand about 10 to 12 inches tall

I learned that playing teaches young meerkats to learn aggression. Even so they are so fun to watch. My favorite animal to see at the zoo. Thank you so much!

I love the society they create and how they each assign roles depending on what each can do (such as leader, or guard, or caretaker). And it is amazing how they have the sense of family and take care of each other, not only as a survival mode.
I love that they like to hang out together.

“Are Meerkats Immune to Poison? A scorpion packs enough venom to kill a full-grown human, and yet meerkats eat them like they’re popcorn.”
Given their ferocity, I was amazed to learn meerkats are among the most generous of the animal kingdom. Also they dine on scorpions even though a scorpion’s sting could kill them. Thanks for the giveaway,

I learned the difference between a birth/home burrow and bolt hole. The bolt has a wider opening to hold meerkat families when danger is near! Our favorite meerkat was Flower, its just not the same without her! When this show is on, my 3 yr. old just squeals in delight, they are so funny to watch.
A meerkat is a relative of a mongoose.
