"She even launched a jackal into the air"
I lost it
Meerkats: Hell here comes Martha again with the puppets.
solountipomas They might start having a distinct call just for her... ;)
😂😂😂
They feel bad and just go along with her puppet show..lol
lmao
Lmfao!
Flying jackal: "guys get out here you're not going to believe this"
Oh man i cant stop laughing...uve just made my day
The test was inconclusive. I wonder why..
I bet some of those meerkats had to come up with new "words" for that one.
MissAshley42 I was literally going to comment something about that lol
So funny
*Meerkats see flying jackal*
"Crap, what should we call that??"
Failed experiment... the researcher still trying to translate that :p
Call it "Flykal" c:
Jackal flying = Meerkat brains explode.
OneofInfinity That part had me laughing so hard
OneofInfinity 😂😂😂😂😂
Best comment
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL!
Jackal: *flies*
Meerkat.exe has stopped working
God they are adorable
'the results were inconclusive'
Well maybe the dont know what to say I mean a flying jackcal xD
Trolling Meerkats....new favorite hobby 😂
Ikr? I'd love love love to have one! They're amazing!
You can’t there actually really dangerous
Generations of meerkats will be taught the "Flying Jackal approaching" call *just in case*
Some of the young meerkats will laugh at their parent’s story of the flying jackal, saying it’s just a story to scare kids…….
*until they see one themselves*
Thanks for the laugh 😂
Flying jackal... Stunned meerkats 😯
imagine the panic they felt when they learnt the jackal could fly
Eve Lyn lol
LoL 😆
Lmfao
puahahaha
"YOOO WHAT THE FUCK"
HQ a jackal sighted
HQ a cat sighted
HQ a flying .... dafaq?! is that a flying jackal?!
Just can't get out of my head how they would react to a flying jackal
"They fly now!"
"They fly now?!"
"They fly now."
2:19 imagine your a meerkat and you see a motionless predator flying through the air attached to 4 round cricles
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤😳😳😳🥵🥵🥳🥳🤪🤪🤪🤩🤩🤩🥺🥺🥺😎😎😎😜😜😝😝😝😛😛😛😋😋😋😍😍🥰🥰😘😘😃😃😄😄👍👍😳🤨🤨😊😊
Meat eating circles
“She even launched a Jackal in the air”
This was.. unexpected-
They are so cute. They can eat scorpions, so they are also quite formidable. I have a toy stuffed meerkat instead of a teddy bear.
My meerkat language is improving ,thank u BBC Earth.
lmao
I wonder what that meerkat was thinking as it watched a flying jackal😂
Sami Motaghedi
Meerkat :what a mad scientist, jackals don't fly... 😂
@@albosang8452 😂
Really god ? Why? Why does it always have to be us?
Ballons are carivores omg
Time to leave the Earth🤣🤣😂
Hahahahaha I'm so high and watching that coyote fly through the sky is killing me
Melinda Virosteck You’re high and you watch BBC? Clearly your life needs some adjustments.
But is not a coyote is a Jackal
Don Draper my life is absolutely perfect thank you very much :) BBC rocks
G0diear 16 mah bad
Melinda Virosteck no problem just letting you know
Because meerkats know jackals do not fly
lmfao!
It iS A FlYkAl
Come on blondie, we've been here for thousands of years, we know how things go
They warm my heart.💗 Wish I could protect all these fuzzies from danger. 😭
2:28 - "...the hell?"
I am so happy that we're getting more Meerkat Manor in 2021
I loved that series of videos! It's 2023 now & I'd watch more if it were available.
Meerkat #1: They fly now?
Meerkat #2: They fly now!
A big THANK YOU to Martha and her amazing job -including the "Flying Jackal", LOL..!!!
The jackal in the sky came out inconclusive cause meerkats were intelligent enough to know jackals don't fly lol
They tripped out the meerkats lol
Meerkats to each other - Hakuna Matata
Nobody:
Absolutely No ONE:
People With pHDs: FLAYING JACKALS MF!!!1
Research zoologists are the best
Timon's cousins!!!
The comment I was looking for
Jackal on wheels: They see me rollin' they hatin!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Moral of the story? Trolling is a form of communication.
Those poor meerkats now believe they live in a world of flying jackals
that low budget spy jackal 😂😂
the ending when they played the calls, was the best.
I like how when they enter there base for cover, a fews meerkat actually stay behind to watched there back.
2:20
"They fly now?"
"They fly now."
This may come in handy when Meerkats take over the world.
Hahaha
I for one welcome our future Meerkat overlords
Now a remix!
That woman introduced the concept of lying to the meerkat kingdom.
"Oh look! An embarrassed-looking-flying jackal with huge balls" said the poor little meerkat who everyone thinks has gone mad...
"Then they put a lion in a tank to test whether the meerkat calls changed"
they see me rolling
Death Sweet they hatin
That one was lost for words at the flying jackal 😐
3:10 cutest thing everrr
Why didnt they used a predetor bird and flew that in the air.
The idea was on short notice. They worked with what they had at the moment. Don't judge. lol
Years into research to prank meerkats with a Flying Willy E.Coyote and fake calls
10/10 would watch again
"weird chick brought a dead jackal on wheels - she is getting quite annoying... oh now its flying... Wtf"
Next experiment: pig flying.
Meerkats: shaking their heads
give her Nobel prize
I love meerkats !! They’re just mere kats
Lol !! I always tell my cat he’s just a mere cat ! I wish I could go outside everyday and play among / with and observe these precious ,adorable meerkats ,so full of such animated , literally among the MOST ADORABLE personalities and little mannerisms ,social
behaviors , little unique and cute expressions &!just the way they’re so cute and hilarious, omg imo . out of many animals , meerkats straight up rank among the top of my most favorite/ loved animals of all! ) if i could, I’d let my entire land become converted into a protected meerkat sanctuary & let them thrive and have abundance of food and plenty of days would be spent with me just chillin watching the meerkats chat it up with their hilarious little sounds lol. God bless them!! I know for them , they work really hard together to help baby kats ( lol ) learn to dig and hunt and disable / dispatch their food as to nor be dangerously st risk against the stings of a scorpion for instance and adults within the meerkat group will help babysit and give lessons to the eager or nervous little precious baby meerkats to help them achieve success in their first kill and as meerkats take shifts in groups , establishing positions and jobs for every meerkat in order to all protect each other , allowing one group to sleep as the others stand watch , get food or survey their little territory to make sure everything is safe , having a meerkat on watch duty and they switch shifts allowing for everyone to rest and eat and it’s just really really precious. They’re very intelligent and have figured out such distinct ways of communicating and signaling one another and idk more people aren’t wanting to know more about them or why they’re not as often as some animals, more intricately studied for their behavioral and social
& cognitive ability to formulate little and complex behaviors and plans all with the desire to protect each other and live in harmony!!! And lol don’t even get me started on how they will get so excited and worked up when they talk to each other and interact haaaa haaaaa. Like , as cute as it is for me to hear all their little sounds and how animated and expressive about it hahaha , to them I know they’re all just like little meerkats that are just balls of energy , positively working together, but very serious about it and i know that they’re always trying so hard to be alert , good , hardworking meerkats lol , To always put each other’s safety and well being and survival and nutritional needs at the top of priority list and they try so hard not to fall asleep while sitting perched up on back legs , to be alert and as tall as they can , to see any threats quicker & at further distances so they can prepare for any danger out there , but they just try so hard hahaha and can’t stay awake or standing for long and u can observe them and watch as they try to be on guard and Awake hahah and omg just between cats and meerkats, there’s just not much that could be as cute lollol. Luv luv luv them !
Is this a research paper? Lay off the cocaine lady
Flying jackal: *exists*
Meerkats: this is an Avenger level threat!
This sounds like a tweety bird and sylvester cartoon. "I thought a saw a Jackel fly! I did! I did! I did see a Jackel fly!"
Meerkats are walking EAS systems!
Meerkats got pranked so hard at the end lol
Her accent when she speaks English is amazing!
Meerkats - heard of pigs flying now jackal flies too!!! What's next...
the first few seconds are already priceless. driving around with a dead fox and 2 huge balloons
Meerkats are so cool
Who cares if you're disorienting an entire clan of meerkats as long as you can call it research
Love how you guys conducted this study.
I like seeing Jackals flying
jackal - i am joke to you
I would like to imagine when the meerkats saw a FLYING jackal - with their "language" distinguishing flying and terrestrial threats - they were collectively thinking "What the actual HELL? How we are supposed to call this thing?!"
those meetkats must’ve been so confused when the jackal started flying
Meerkats peed when they saw the jackal flying
Imagine you pull fast to meerkats lol
3:50 - That's kind of a bop.
I wonder if they just didn't know how to handle a ground predator in the air... very cool study
Amazing creatures! We saw few of them up close when we went to Moscow zoopark!
But I had to admit, this video is too funny. Especially the flying jackal 😂😂😂
I'm sorry but I lost it when she launched it into the air 😭
That jackal must have had a Red Bull because "Red Bull gives you wiiings!"
Fav meercats
Flying Jackal: exists
Meerkats: So this is what the ancient ones spoke of.
Assaulting brains of wild animals.
They could have never imagined flying jackals but now thanks to you they can.
Horrible memory for the generations when they will teach their young kids that jackals can fly too.
Not really damaging but I hope she never do it again. It will be a entertaining tale.
Inconclusive? It was a flying jackal! What'd ya think the Meerkats are gonna make of it?!?
Meerkat watches floating jackal... "I could make the 'Jackal flying through the air call,' or I could just let them walk out and see it for themselves." Eyes the jackal again. "Yep, they're just gonna have to see this for themselves."
“… DUDE, DUDE THE JACKALS CAN FLY WHAT DO I SAY???!!!”
So cute.
They probably thought the jackal got snatched up by round red bird of prey lol
Sounds like a car security alarm
Series of ingenious experiments:
Dog
Horror pranks for Meerkats.
Meerkat sees aerial Jackal
Meerkat:
Timone remember slimy and satisfying you eat bugs
They probably shit their pants when they saw a flying jackal
Wow the active Meekats and good job BBC team.
I like the voiceover. Its so warm
Timon is that you ?
I wonder how much the BBC pays these people to stress out Meerkats, Lol.... Poor little dudes.
cute .very cute meerkat
I love the music in the background 😺
and then, the wily coyote tried to chase the roadrunner on his acme hover board - but something went wrong and he needed a tow after fitting wheels to it. meep meep.
"The results were inconclusive." Well, duh. The meerkats will play along with a stuffed jackal on a wheeled cart being obviously pulled on a rope by a nearby human...but a stuffed jackal suspended by large balloons is way too fake to react to.
I wish I could get paid for trolling meerkats.
Sounds like my alarm clock every morning, makes me want to hit snooze
The sly fox... vs... the debunkermeerkat
0:27 That's a cute fat bird!
Cole’s new album is gold
