Yes, I watch Meerkat Manor on Animal Planet. I've missed a few episodes but I try to always watch it.

We lost Mozart last week. They think she died from a vulture attack.  :'(

She's the second meerkat to die in the show that I know of. The other one was Flower who died of a snakebite.

The producers of the program do not back off or try to shield the audience when one of the animals die. This is a part of nature (as sad and upsetting as it is) and it's one of those qualites that makes MM such a realistic and interesting program to watch.

I saw a commercial for it during movie previews at a movie theater about a month ago.  It looked great, but I haven't watched it.

         My husband watches it all the time..I had never seen it before, until last week...I thought he was watching the
same movie over and over..I just found out it was a whole season of it.  And now they are starting again.  A whole new
set of shows I guess.

awwww... cute little grady - I suppose he could be mistaking them for kittie? and if they rush about a lot then he'll get excited at that I'm sure!

I just got the first season on DVD from Animal Planet. I need to watch it from the beginning. When a co-worker told me Flower had died, I got tears in my eyes. I had resisted watching the show because I knew if I got involved with the animals I'd be upset if something happened to one of them. Well now I know so I'll deal with it.

I resisted for a long time but it was always on at work so I saw bits and pieces. And I heard recently about Mozart.

I'll start watching next week.

Thanks for starting the thread Kelda.

There is something very similar they are advertising on the breaks - called Lemur Street - lots of Lemurs and they've given them Brummy (Birmingham) accents!!!

I've just sat and watched 2 and a half hours straight of that - and got addicted!!!!

I saw from the epsiode after flower was killed right through to the last episode of season 3 - it seems they were showing all S3 episodes in one go on a sat afternoon as they have finsihed showing it on a weekly basis.

So guess I will ahve to wait until they start showing S4!

How do they catch the ffilminfg of that though - it seems like the cameras are right in the middle of things - I know they must track them with the collars but do they have little cameras on the collars too I wonder?
