A baby meerkat crawling all over you while you're ethically-obligated to refrain from snuggling him/her could be a very innovative form of torture... I'd spill state secrets in about 10 seconds.

They knew who he was, and that he was a living creature. But meerkats are incredibly social, are very intelligent, and they've got an amazing sense of danger. He didn't pose a threat, so it was safe to investigate and play with.

El Pondros If you watch another of the other videos it shows him stroking this one as a baby when he first came out of the burrow. There are a couple of weeks in the early life of mammals like these called the socialisation period. Within this period is when they learn to socialise with their family and if there are creatures of another species around socialising in a way their family allows they will often become comfortable with them in a familial way. With kittens for example, they can be socialised with one to two humans or dogs and they will become comfortable with just those humans or dogs or those they are introduced to by those animals. If they are socialised with a wider range of humans in that time they will become very friendly cats who will say hello to most humans who present with the right body language. I would say these meerkats know this man as an animal it's safe to be around even if they don't consider him part of the family. Cats which consider you one of their own will rub their facial scent glands on you which marks you as family. I don't know what behaviour shows this in meerkats but they're definitely socialised to accept him at any rate.

El Pondros I'll concede they probably didn't know his name, that he was British, that he worked for the BBC, etc. But they knew he was another potentially-sentient being... They looked him in the face and that gives me no reason to think they simply perceive him as a "rock."

While we're being boring and missing the joke, we may as well get our facts right. "Meer" ("mere" in English) means "lake". It's possible the first Dutchman to see one was by a lake. More likely, "mier" is a slang word for a termite. Meerkats do like termites.

I envy Simon, being able to watch the animals overcome the fear that, unfortunately, is so necessary for their survival.

Yea, that's like one of the main things I have seen, like from the directors and camera crew that studied and filmed the show Meerkat Manor. Like there was one time I remember, and that episode would still make me cry to this day, was when a young pup was abandoned by the mother and basically left to die and the crew could do nothing to help but just keep recording/filming. I want to say that time it happened another meerkat came in last minute and saved the pup before it died but I remember other times where some did. Or like one got bit by a venomous snake and over the next few episodes, progressively got worse and worse until I think it died.

Did you know, that to find work as a wildlife photographer or wildlife filmmaker, you have to pass a series of tests that measure your ability to handle vast amounts of cuteness? Some say there exists a test where you must survive an hour in a room full of puppies, without moving or smiling. Apparently a man panicked when he couldn't handle the high levels of adorableness during such a test, and suffered major high levels of The Cute. Unfortunately, he had to find work as a stay-at-home puppy foster. Poor guy.

I know the BBC likes filming nature as realistically as possible - but do we really need the video in the Meercat-vision of 144p?

Awesome video..... You remind me of a time I took care of an abused dog ..... ( 3- month old Husky )...... She was terrified of humans.... So I got a sleeping bag and layed in the yard at night close to her safe spot.... All body in sleeping bag covered but face... Little by little she came close to me.... One night I fell asleep in the back yard and when I woke she was sleeping across my stomach..... From then on it was progress..... I kept her as I had become too attached and her to me...... God bless all who love creation ♥️

It IS a reality show. It's just that wild animals are more pleasant to observe than a lot of humans ... especially the kind that have reality shows!

Simon King is a broadcaster was also on Big Cat Diary where he filmed lions, leopards, and cheetahs as well as other nature documentaries over the years. He might’ve gotten the job through television networks or maybe he studied biology or ecology.
