Me too hon. Me too. I lost almost all of my family members/friends due to our differences in religious, political, and pandemic beliefs. Idk why, but your comment struck a chord with me. I guess because even though we choose to be true to ourselves, it still hurts like hell that our own flesh and blood rejects us for whatever reason. Best wishes from a random stranger on the internet.

So true, I always cringe a little when people say blood is the strongest bond, no, love is the strongest bond.

@@AurioDK Blood is the strongest bond. Those people will never be your family. No matter how close you feel. They are and always will be. Just your friends

@@wufongtanwufong5579 l don't think there is any" just" about it, in lots of cases .

@@wufongtanwufong5579 I guess if I adopted a son he Is just my friend then. That definitely makes lots of sense.

I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me and dare to face the unknown, and ponder the question... What if? No? Okay.

you too, ty

Thank you for your kind wishes!

@@marthawelch4289 Mp pleasure

Thank you 🙏

Just what I needed to read , positive vibe and much love to you 💗

That is to me also animal cruelty!

They appear to be on a reserve and not pets but voice-over narration is awful and uninformative.

@@livisunshine3700 bruh

@@annastinehammersdottir1290 I think they are talking in general

Cruel and selfish humans.

They are part of the mongoose family not species.

@@ACIDRAIN2142 they are a species of mongoose. A very different species from the banded mongoose however

@@ACIDRAIN2142 In a family are different species of that family.

@@TheAstroflight lmao I have never heard of a meerkat-mongoose hybrid

They explained that.

I’m the same way. It looks like they’re wearing sunglasses. Mongooses are very fearless animals. I’ve seen one run full speed when he spotted a Cobra and fought with it. They have to be the bravest animals for their size

Whose heart did you take out?

Basically, meerkats are mongooses.

=_=

They aren’t in the viverrid family. They’re in a sister group, both of which are included within the infraorder viverroidea. Only civets, genets, linsangs, and the binturong are included in the viverrid family.

@@Pandacalifornia I've studied these animals and their cousins for many years, so you are in error! The Viverridae Family also includes Meerkats, also known as Suricates!

@@MONGOOSE1ful I’m not the one who’s “in error.” Blame the vast majority of online sources that disagree with you. It looks like you’re describing outdated taxa that has been changed at some point.

@@Pandacalifornia If you are stupid enough to site online sources and don't read and research enough, then you are still in error, so please, move along-and what on earth is "outdated taxa"? do your homework, and study, and stop using the Internet to fault and distort the data!

@@MONGOOSE1ful It usually takes a minute long search to know what family an animal is in, so excuse me if I didn’t do enough research to find the one outdated textbook you looked at. And don’t pretend like you don’t know what I’m talking about. It’s literally and adjective and a noun, no hidden meanings behind it. If you somehow didn’t know, taxonomy changes all the time when new information is discovered. This year, the mew/common gull got split into the common gull and short-billed gull, and it was changed immediately on pretty much every major resource. As soon as the AOS declared it, pretty much every major resource updated its information. That’s what the internet is for, making information easily accessible so you don’t have to read and research a ton of books from different years that might have conflicting information. So yeah I don’t care if you claim to have been studying these creatures for years, so have a lot of people from some of the most prominent scientific authorities that have done DNA comparisons on these creatures. If you got a problem with how they classify things, bring it up with them.

That cracked me up too

Meerkats are mongooses, a mongoose is any carnivoran that belongs to the family Herpestidae, there are only 36 extant species of mongoose within 16 extant genera, mongooses are found only in both Asia and continental Africa, there are no mongooses in Madagascar.
