This is why Timon lives with Pumba, too much drama at home.
Hey, Timon's Ma loved and supported him. Did you not see ' Lion King 1 and 1/2' 🤣🤣
@@darreylhenderson702 what do you know he wasn't a female.. If Timon was Timona then he would be kicked out 😂
darreyl henderson It was a joke and still even if it wasn't u can still leave because of drama at home that don't involve u
Albatross flight Timon’s a boy

That's messed up..lol
You're so right 😂
Lmao that's funny
Noelle Chapman you have won the comment I read of the day
Well I know who won't be getting a mother's day gift this year
Lol
She needs her pups to eat. A mother's day gift won't feed her pups.
She gets them from her sons... Uh oh
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Hakuna matata, it means no daughters for the rest of your days....

I guess the joke flew over your head
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She should really consider birth control.
Yo Gabs for real though lol
Yo Gabs 😂😂😂
That is birth control at it's pinical
Or ligate herself or castrate the father for Pete's sake!
It’s nature, you delusional twat.
Mrs Mcgee, BeeBe and their other 2 sisters are now forming an alliance to topple Clinky's cruel regime. Change is the only constant.
lolocaust Male lions do the same thing 🤔
Blue Bug exactly, the males and the selfish never growing who still baby are the terrible in society. Most female animals hv alot abilities hunting and never feed the mature males and adults. We should pity the guys who not idea cannot feed themselves.
BigPigPig I’m pretty sure the guy was joking because what he said was fairly generic and are we really about to compare mere cats and lions to humans now?
The newest season of Game of Thrones
BigPigPig so if these males can't hunt or have skills,why don't you go stand in front of them. We will wait.
If the daughters worked together they could take her down. They must really respect/fear the mother meerkat. If only we could speak meerkat
That, and they are not intelligent enough to realize that they could band together like that.
Blue Bug That's why some female animals/inserts show example female need go outside to find resources, because can reduce kill own children as food, second the female united to feed the pregnant one.
Game of Meerkat Thrones.
Even if the daughters worked together they couldn't take her down. Because her husban and the other males in the family they would help her the mother, the alpha female.

Gosh damn, she bites in the most delicate of places. 😱
Chuck Keough lol
Got to to kill it quicker
At least she isn’t like lions who bite their prey in the balls and eat them Alive 😦
Jose Martinez lool
That's the point, it's to make breeding painfull for the exiled female.

When your mom gets mad at your sibling and takes it out on everyone else.
On you especially
I miss Flower, of the Kalahari! The most badass meerkat mother that ever lived! I also miss her daughter, Mozart, very much.
The mom: BEBE I SEE YOU IN THAT LOG YOU THOUGHT YOU WAS SAFE GRBRHFBRLLFBR
Lollll
😂😂😂 that's what I was thinking. BeBe got it the worst, she got bit all over.
😂😂😂😂
And it all happened sooo fast too!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love your pfp lol
I remember how Flower actually spared one of her pregnant daughters and let her stay in the group.... Her daughter repaid the kind gesture by killing Flower's babies so that her own will get all of the attention. Keeping that in mind, I recognize that Clinky is just doing what she's gotta do.
Actually that was Rocket Dog. None of the daughters ever ate Flower’s pups
@@xaviermeyers4970 Oh man, my bad. It's been awhile.
@@xaviermeyers4970thanks, that’s what I thought! Flower was so mighty and fearsome that I don’t remember any of her daughters daring to have a death wish like that 😂😂 I never enjoyed Rocket Dog that much 😂😂 thanks for the good memories. I miss Flower & Zaphod
Mom your not listening I`m lesbian
you win the internet
HotZetiGer, You mean I'm?

Man, that thing can run really freaking fast for being so heavily pregnant
Yeah if only humans could xD
This ain't the Meerkat Manor I used to watch like 12 years ago...
Norman Reyes loved that show!!
Ikr What happened to Flower?????
C00kii0 Flower died from a snake biting her. 😖
I ordered the series so I could watch flower die over and over and over and................................
Um a female got exiled in Meerkat Manor too....
She almost got away with it too.. BAM! Savageee
I like how all the other meerkats are just like “awkward..”
She ain't have to do BeBe like that 😢
shak 😂😂😂😂 she did Bebe dirty with that sneak attack
Natural selection, weak always dies
😂😂😂😂😂
shak girl bebe thought ha ass was slick 🤣🤣
@@mirjunaid5779 why are you still here then.
Can you imagine if human moms did this? It be like...
(Mom have 10 year old child)
(Mom is gonna have a new baby)
Mom: TIME TO DIEEE
Loool thanks for the laugh i cant breathe
I don’t want to imagine humans without an ounce of compassion. I mean some subhumans don’t but the average normal human doesn’t go around beating teens
More like 13? Cause these females are fertile. They're not babies or toddlers but can already hunt on their own. They can breed already so more like young adult or teenager.
She doesn't kill the daughters, and she doesn't want to, because they are still carying her genes. If you kill all your daughters you can't have grandchildren. She just wants her daughters, now that they are fully grown, to fend for themselves.
And they are like that.
The daughters will go to Westeros, raise an army, and return for vengeance.
Hell gates shall be opened when they return!
LOL... I love that one... Another Dragon family born & mama is the blame for it this time 🐉🐲.... Mama Dragon has goner Mad.... 😈🐉🐲😠😡💔💔💔...
I love how he humanises the animals, while still sticking to zoological facts and known animal behaviours.
What about this video humanizes them
I don't like it. It's called anthropomorphism.
@jstrahan2 Anthropocentrism is only useful in scientific literature in order to avoid creating bias, in all other areas such as popsci youtube videos anthropomorphism is more important to drive engagement.
Klinky: I will protect my pups with MY LIFE *pups grow up* Klinky: IM ABOUT TO END THESE PUPS’ WHOLE CARRER
These meerkats have such complex social hierarchies, I learned that after watching nearly all the seasons of Meerkat Manor.
Kung Fu Clan? Mrs. Magee? What kind of high researchers are naming these meerkats? LOL
High on weed
Nah, probably just geeks
Unique names make animals easier to remember because they all look almost the same.
"She almost gets away with it."
[Sudden attack with rabid animal sounds]
Franco Cortez very sudden! Almost gave me a heart attack
My mom always said “I brought you into this world I’ll take you out”
2:24
"she almost gets away with it"
**dramatic sting**
i saw a similar story in Meerkat Manor. In Meerkat families, only the alpha female is allowed to breed while the others don't. If a female in the clan is pregnant by someone outside the clan, she is treated as a challenger to the alpha female and is effectively driven out. If they are lucky to survive, they will start their own clan.
That or will aventually be welcomed back in to baby sit the pups for their mother. That is if they haven't formed a new group yet.
I thought that this was aboit Flower! M Manor. This is another mob?

Begone, thots!
I hope the daughters start new families and get even with mom one day.

WHAT!?!?!?!?!
Makes me miss meerkat manor
Everyone: *terrible mother*
Me: *to be honest she needs to give her unborn babies a chance to survive and they were limited on food She also had four fertile daughters which would want to mate the only option she had was to exile her daughters I saw the sadness in her eyes when all of them were gone*
I miss flower :(
this is the Kung Fu gang not the whiskers
I miss Shakespeare. Still sad what happened with that snake
@@JsBodFTWxD Shakespeare didn't die from a snake???
Long live the best meerkat matriarch
Aww, I remember Flower
i hope her daughters make a new group and it becomes better than their moms and they show up later on like AY MOM REMEMBER THAT ONE TIME
Respect for Attenbro for not laughing out when saying Meerkat Names
been binge watching Meerkat Manor. I’ve decided that Flower was chosen leader because of her viciousness. She was respected by all, not one other female ever tried to kill her pups, in fear of Flower’s revenge. Flower knew she was going to die when she sacrificed herself to the snake to save the family and the one pup that lived through the attack. It was her viciousness that made her Queen of the Khalahari. Mozart was dumb, too sweet, and didn’t follow orders, not vicious enough to rule, not even the Starkies. Flower evicted the dumb ones and kept her family strong. You have to be vicious enough to take on a cobra by yourself if you want a gang of over 40 while being pregnant 100% of the time.
Why is she biting their butts tho
Nia L meerkat abortion
She isnt trying to kill them, as they are still her pups, shes just simply giving them a warning that they aren't welcome anymore and must leave. If she bit anywhere else like there necks, heads, or feet they could of been killed or even seriously injured and unable to hunt
It hurts alot
^^^^I think I found one of the daughters.
I dont think she was goin for the butt
Today is Mother's day in Argentina... What a great recommendation you are giving, RUclips :v

Hormonal pregnant women tsktsk
Kelly Chung *Females
Kelly Chung actually, the mom had to this or the whole pack and her pups would die, and so would the her already born daughters. Her daughters could become pregnant and babies need lots of food and care. The pack was already low on food supply, so taking that risk could mean death. The mom knew it was wrong and didn’t like doing it, but she had no choice. Please don’t be sexist, you walnut brained, idiot.

NeonSaber YT Jokes, friend. :) (Though I'm not sure if the mother knew that it was wrong, or if it's wrong in the first place? As you said, it had to be done to increase their chances of survival.)
Kelly Chung oh ok💖
KLINKY, YOU GO LIL MAMA ~ MEERKATS FREAKIN’ RULE AND ARE SOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!!
KAROON BOOMIE boycott klinky
*Daughters begin to mature*
Mom: *So you've chosen Death*
But if the daughters she exiles are still genetically HER daughters, why would she banish them with a reason of allocating resources for her future daughters? Wouldn't having family that has already proven it can survive be a better advantage than an untested next generation?
Her daughters only carry 50% of her genes, which means any grandchildren will only carry 25% of her genes. Compared to the babies she's currently carrying, which are also 50%, the choice is clear from an evolutionary perspective.
But wouldn't that just put them in the some situation after her new daughters are born? If the mother keeps exiling her 50% daughters she might not ever even get 25% grandchildren at all.
I mean, if the daughters have a high chance of surviving after exile, then that makes sense since the mother's genes can be passed into different communities over wider areas. But from one perspective, it seems like having grandchildren (even if only 25% of you) where you can help them survive is beneficial.
I'm sure I'm missing some key elements here, but it just struck me as odd. Thanks for the input, though. :)
UatuOmega
I think they only get banished for the time around the birth.
They have a weird system, where only the dominant female of the group gets to reproduce...the subordinate females stay ‚sterile‘ (don’t ask me, how that works, must be a hormonal thing). But sometimes someone else gets knocked up and then they try to kill each other’s babies. In any case, the pregnant alpha female would try to make sure, there are no ‚rivals‘ around at the time of the birth, to minimize the risk for the new babies.
Couple of days later the other females are allowed back and actually help raise the young.
It’s probably because food is so scarce...it’s more resourceful if there are only a couple babies each year and everyone pools their resources to help raise them, since they are all related anyway.
If they get pregnant or have pups while she still has little pups, then the might kill her pups to get more resources for their own pups, and she’s trying to avoid that.
Danielle Spargo ????
They have hard rules but are so loving to each other at the same time
Haha i like it when other meerkats ran and tried to break up the fight.
They sound like angry chihuahuas 😂 I love chihuahuas and meerkats
They are so adorable
2:35 swear I heard "momma!" 🙃
Furry Feathers same
2:31 I almost fell from my chair:)) what a mom!
“Pregnant Clinky” that’s the best thing I’ve heard all day
David A. is great to listen to. And I love these animal stories
What if they interpret the behaviors entirely wrong?
What if they got the names wrong and kinky was one of the daughters that kicked out with the others and thats just some random chick
What if the meerkats are really watching us?
He Wu they do it wrong all the time but we just have to play along. Lol 😆
He Wu that's a very valid question. I've always wondered how tf these commentators know what their behaviors mean if the animals can't speak in a native language
@@PlayaflyJoe27 the commentary is most likely based on already known and researched behaviour of the animals. Scientist spend A LOT of time to gather information about animals and try to learn their natural behaviour in the wild.
That one meerkat kept huddling around each fight like a referee lol.
The 3 should team together and exile her mother 🥰 JKJKJKJK
My officemate looks like a Meercat. Should I worry?
Not unless she's pregnant😂
So that's why Timon lives with pumba
Lol 😄
And this is how new meerkat groups are formed . The daughters will likely stick together for a while then will probably meet up with a male and start their own group
*Klinky* *is* *merciless*
She kicked them out because they're grown (enough, in meerkat standards). She's a struggling mother, she don't need four adult kids mooching off her and her youngests. They need to get a damn job and start their own families! Lmao
Yet she kept her sons to mooch off her. Bunch of mama's boys.
They're so cute, and very smart!
Its just natures basic rule. She kicks out the full grown children and she makes life and new generation .
RIP Flower...
Yay animals
It’s like telling your kid to get out when they turn 18 lmao
This makes me miss Meerkat Manor. I loved that show! Flower was the best.
Who else loved Flower the meerkat?
Honestly, I didn't. She was so vicious, especially to poor Mozart. I suppose all leader female meerkats are, though.
I did
This breaks my heart. 😢
Ningaloo is Flower 's son and Klinky is Zorilla/Nikita's sis, and both Klinky and Zorilla/Nikita were dominant females in the Commandos group
Look at these standing meetkats, sweet.
Omg
Is she on welfare and food stamps with 20 boyfriends also who comes up with the names.
Who knows
Kaizen Mckenzie what a gross comment.
Kaizen Mckenzie some autist thinks up the names I’m sure
@@nataliefreeman5237 because its true
The Vicious Pacific no. it’s not. and idiots like you make the world a shittier place.
Me: Turns 18
Mom: I don’t even know you anymore
Moms vs Daughters's on their 18th birthday. 🎂🎊🎉
Me: Humans can be so cruel...
Meerkat: Wait..hold my beer...
Wow
I know it's how mother natures works. I get it. But I still cried a tear 😢. Survival of the fittest brutal yet necessary.
I love the show with meerkats!!! I use to sit and watch for hours and it stopped coming on! I’ve found it here now I guess🤷🏽♀️
*some people don't actually understand why the mom has to excile her daughters*
*a baby meerkat needs a lot of food to survive, the mom doesn't have that much food, she exciles her daughters since they could get pregnant, hence, a bigger family to feed, her offsprings need to survive, since the daughter meerkats can be pregnant they could probably take care of themselves/ their family. It also probably happened to the mom too when she was young...*
Says no one cause the video stated that the reason was limited resources. But yeah.. thanks.
You sound like you are fluent in meekrat. Thanks Einstein.

........She almost gets away with it....Oh snap
Been watching meerkat and mongoose videos they're awesome
i remember in meerkat manor Flower the matriarch of the whisker clan allowed all of her daughters to stay and keep pups she was lenient and strong
