imagine the panic they felt when they learnt the jackal could fly
Eve Lyn lol
LoL 😆
Lmfao
puahahaha
"YOOO WHAT THE FUCK"
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!
"She even launched a jackal into the air"
I lost it
Guess they didn't have a code for a flying jackal
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
Flying jackal... Stunned meerkats 😯
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 😂
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."
“She even launched a Jackal in the air”
This was.. unexpected-
2:19 imagine your a meerkat and you see a motionless predator flying through the air attached to 4 round cricles
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤😳😳😳🥵🥵🥳🥳🤪🤪🤪🤩🤩🤩🥺🥺🥺😎😎😎😜😜😝😝😝😛😛😛😋😋😋😍😍🥰🥰😘😘😃😃😄😄👍👍😳🤨🤨😊😊
Meat eating circles
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.
Skateboarding jackal. Skateboarding caracal. Balloonist jackal.
We're learning *so many* new words with these humans around!
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🤣🤣😂
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
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
2:28 - "...the hell?"
Meerkat #1: They fly now?
Meerkat #2: They fly now!
They warm my heart.💗 Wish I could protect all these fuzzies from danger. 😭
The jackal in the sky came out inconclusive cause meerkats were intelligent enough to know jackals don't fly lol
Nobody:
Absolutely No ONE:
People With pHDs: FLAYING JACKALS MF!!!1
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.
Meerkats to each other - Hakuna Matata
They tripped out the meerkats lol
2:20
"They fly now?"
"They fly now."
Jackal on wheels: They see me rollin' they hatin!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Research zoologists are the best
A big THANK YOU to Martha and her amazing job -including the "Flying Jackal", LOL..!!!
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.
Timon's cousins!!!
The comment I was looking for
Those poor meerkats now believe they live in a world of flying jackals
Now a remix!
Moral of the story? Trolling is a form of communication.
This may come in handy when Meerkats take over the world.
Hahaha
I for one welcome our future Meerkat overlords
"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"
That one was lost for words at the flying jackal 😐
they see me rolling
Death Sweet they hatin
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
give her Nobel prize
Meerkats are walking EAS systems!
“Damn it he got a car run for your life”
"weird chick brought a dead jackal on wheels - she is getting quite annoying... oh now its flying... Wtf"
Love how you guys conducted this study.
3:10 cutest thing everrr
Years into research to prank meerkats with a Flying Willy E.Coyote and fake calls
10/10 would watch again
Next experiment: pig flying.
Meerkats: shaking their heads
Flying Jackal: exists
Meerkats: So this is what the ancient ones spoke of.
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 - 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
I like the voiceover. Its so warm
I like seeing Jackals flying
A flying jackal and barking kats... I'm starting to think those weren't ordinary mushrooms in the stew this evening!
Her accent when she speaks English is amazing!
Meerkats got pranked so hard at the end lol
This is how the mafia works
Meerkats are so cool
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?!"
Wow the active Meekats and good job BBC team.
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 😂😂😂
jackal - i am joke to you
Cole’s new album is gold
3:50 - That's kind of a bop.
So cute.
I love the music in the background 😺
“… DUDE, DUDE THE JACKALS CAN FLY WHAT DO I SAY???!!!”
Imagine you pull fast to meerkats lol
cute .very cute meerkat
That jackal must have had a Red Bull because "Red Bull gives you wiiings!"
I'm sorry but I lost it when she launched it into the air 😭
They took a flying pig to a whole new level.
Meerkat sees aerial Jackal
Meerkat:
Sounds like my alarm clock every morning, makes me want to hit snooze
Inconclusive? It was a flying jackal! What'd ya think the Meerkats are gonna make of it?!?
Timon is that you ?
Series of ingenious experiments:
Dog
those meetkats must’ve been so confused when the jackal started flying
Fav meercats
Bird of prey approaching fast lol
They probably thought the jackal got snatched up by round red bird of prey lol
Horror pranks for Meerkats.
They seem to know a lot about them in 2006 and I have seen specials on tv since. The show seemed to fall apart after she died. When I saw them at the zoo they were so small and busy little guys. Is there new information about them are just stuff that they did for the tv show back then they could catch them by using scrambled eggs and weigh them it always amazed me how they could keep up with them.
Think the desert heat made Martha lose some of her marbles...
Just love them
sounds made my puppy really nervous
I wonder if they just didn't know how to handle a ground predator in the air... very cool study
Aww! I think they r so cute and smart!😁❤
Pam J
Likewise
😃❤

Who cares if you're disorienting an entire clan of meerkats as long as you can call it research
Sounds like a car security alarm
