    Meerkat Manor is a very educational show that demonstrates the importance of family values in a meerkat culture. This show has been very much an interesting part of my television viewing as it has taught me things that I never knew about meerkats. I find it very educational as viewers get to see how meerkats live on a daily basis and what a day in a meerkat's life is all about. My favorite parts of the show would have be the battles between meerkat families and all of their trips to find food. I also have enjoyed watching the meerkats care for their own kind and show a deep connection with all of their family members. Overall, I think this show is great for those who like to learn new things. Thank you.moreless

    Who would of thought to make a show about meerkats. I love this show. It's meerkat a soap opra. If you watch this show you'll get attached. I laugh, I cry, It's an emotional rollercoaster of what turns out to be family. Who knew meerkats would be so interesting/ strict/ cute/ loving/ betraying and fiesty, I sure didn't. Its a very different show because it't everyday life in meerkat form and it's amazing because . . . umm the same reason it's different. It is truly one of my favorite shows and it teaches you about animals that have pretty much the same issues as humans. (half the stuff I said I didn't need to say, I just needed to waist words)moreless

    The whiskers are a family of meerkats living in the Kalahari desert. This show takes animal reasearching to the next level, They hid (sorta) cameras in the Kalahari to watch the behaviors of these meerkats and somehow it became a smash hit documentary series. This isin't just some reality show with scripts, these are real-life events! That's what surprised me most. Just look at it, you can't write this stuff. The drama, the suspense, and the reality of it. It's what makes this show a real hit. Although it has it's good fight scenes and family affairs, sometimes it drags on for a whole episode which kind of gets boring, but soon enough, another twist sends you back to the edge of your seat. Pretty dang cool.moreless

    A show that will put you in to tears, make you extremly happy and can take your breath away. The cutest family in the Kalahari makes a great story of love, hate, revenge, anger, happiness, death, life, terror, and suffering. everything it takes to make a great show. It could keep going and going. This show will have you seeing animals in a whole new way, seeing them way more like people than you could ever think possible! And, along the way you will learn a lot about nature and how cruel the animal kingdom really is. Cute, amazing, and full of love.moreless

    Meerkat Manor is one of my personal favourites because its great and simple show about the Wiskers family of meerkats.
    I've been watching the series ever since the start of it and have loved it from the beginning.
    the Wiskers aren't the only ones in the Kalahari Desert though. Preditors such as eagles, snakes and other big animals also inhabit the desert.
    Also other families of meerkats do so, the Lesluli family and the Commando family are the Wiskers' neighbours and they aren't friendly.
    the Wiskers, Lesluli and the Commandos have been having wars and battles over land for ages and theydon't plan to stop to soon.
    Lets just hope the Wiskers survive this challenging habitat of theirs with a couple of years to spare.
    BTW: Go Mozart!!!moreless
