  • I remember crying forever when Flower died. But at least she isn't suffering anymore and now she is with the love of her life, Zaphod, once again after his death on March 4, 2011. Rest in peace Flower and Zaphod!!!

  • this was my favorite show and meerkats are my fav animals ever. i even named my chihuahua after Flower. i wish she didnt die :( i cried for like weeks

  • I Remember When I watched Meerkat Manor on tv and dvd --Rest in Peace Zaphod and Flower---who ever thought that 2 small creatures--and their family --half a world away, would have such a lasting impact on anyone fortunate enough to watch their amazing story unfold!

  • I truly do hope that they are together now---and singing this to each other!!

  • this is the best video i have seen this year

  • loved it lets all hope zaphod lives on to return to the whiskers ;)

  • AWSOME VIDEO ILL ALWAYS MISS FLOWER THE DESERT ROSE!!!!!

  • I love Flower she was a great leader and aftershe died the Wiskers family dropped in pride and numbers the Wiskers couldnt live without her she will be missed Zaphod didnt know what to do when she died R.I.P Flower we love and miss you

    FLOWER FOREVER

  • Oh, very lovely. And I love that song too. It's amazing that the death of a meerkat on the other side of the world I would never get to meet would bring tears to my eyes, especially years later. I had no interest in the show until the first time I saw it, when there was just nothing else on. I've been in love with this show ever since!

  • after 3 and a half years i still shed a tear.

  • Are meerkats related to possoms?

  • No, I beleive Opossoms are related to marsupials. Things that carry babies in a pouch liek Kangaroos and Tasmanian Devils. Meerkats are relatives of Mongooses.

  • LOL this crazy.

  • Guess a lot of us like Crazy things.

  • Please watch my new YVPro Meerkats. It's a remake of a meerkat documentation, and it's might be as good as the actual Kalahari Meerkat Project. I used to love watching Meerkat Manor, but now that they never show anything to do with meerkats, I decided to start my own meerkat mobs. If you want, you could watch my first introduction, and tell me what you think. Well, thanks, bye :D

    ;; Nice vid, I really miss flower. ;[

    She was the perfect mom and dominant female. RIP Flower♥

  • aww i just wanna pick up one of those meerkats and squeeze and cuddle them <3

  • Same here. I listen to this song and i cry a little. Reminds me of me and my fiance

  • I love this video so much. Its so beautiful that it made me cry! R.I.P Flower!

  • Meerkatgirl123,

    Don't revamp this video!

    It's perfect just as it is! It really is my favorite and has been since you first made it!

  • Aww, thank you so much <3

  • @simonoftrent its been awhile since i have revisited the whiskers. i still have not forgotten about our khalahari rose and her offspring. i still shed tears.

  • @pimpjuice1870 ...speaking of "rose", I wonder if there's "Desert Rose" with the meerkats. I'd favorite in a second!

  • google

    bring back meerkat manor and go to the first website and sign the petition

  • This has been my favorite video since the first time I watched it...so beautiful. Like many others who watch, I weep. The emotions of Flower's death are overwhelming and will always seem fresh & of course ~The Song~. So much in my life was meerkat involved...and now all of it is gone.

  • I am so glad I "remembered" this video from a few months again - and I still cry. Such wonderful memories in this video Oh- Dec 6th - Flower had litters 4 and 7 , I yr apart, 2003, 2004. Zaphod will be 11 years old on Dec 9th- We are all fortunate to have been able to get to know Flower and Zaphod- all the Whsikers. Oh- this is not a sales pitch, but 2 new Legend Photo Cards are out of Flower - and a Zaphod Legend calendar, More great memories to keepand admire. This video just gets better.

  • Thank you <3 And I'm planning to revamp it. But i've been getting lazy. D:

    And Yes! I have seen the KMP's new stuff up on Zazzle and would like to get opne of each <3 those cards and callender are beautiful.

  • Hi there, Please tell me where I can get the cards and calendar from. Many thanks

  • Just go to the Kalahari Meerkat Project Friends website and on the left side of the screen will be a list. Go to FKMP Store and click that and it will take you to the store link and everythign you need to know about it. :)

  • Many thanks Meerkatgirl 123. You are very kind. Best wishes to you and all meerkat  lovers for Christmas.

  • I am happy for 2catsand me that Meerkatgirl123 gave you the FKMP site info - I did honestly answer your question as well - perhaps I did it incorrectly - I posted it as a response to your comment on a different page. I apologize if you did not get the information I sent to you. Important thing is, you have the site info and can get what you want and need. I hope it works out for you. Happy Holidays

  • Many thanks for the info. I did get both but had a major computer melt down and am only now getting some of my stuff back on. I hope that Meerkatgirl doesn't think I want to steal her video I just meant that I am worried that It will oneday go off U tube ( like most of my other favourites).I'm so new to all this that I wouldn' know how anyway. Love the FKMP site, pity I'm broke. Thanks again to you both. Very best wishes

  • No worries here, I am Meerkatgirl on a new account since my old one got a few warnings and to sdave my videos I moved burrows. But if this is ever to be removed form youtube, I did managed to rip a copy so it would be back shortly. Thank you so much for your kind words <3

  • Same to you and Thank you :)

  • I wish I could get my own copy of this amazingly beautiful video. My favourite vids usually get taken off U Tube. Thallnk you Meerkatgirl for making this 60 year old happy (even though I'm crying all the way through it)

  • That snake is a sun of a bitch!

    R.I.P

  • Oh please don't die on us Zaphod. You were there in the begginning, and we ned you till the end! Even Flower died... And ShakeSpear, Mitch went missing, all of our Meerkats are going and leaving, we all hope some of the Meerkats from the start will stay, survive till the end.. I know I hope so

  • Zaphod is actualy very old for a meekrat,. and very lucky to be so. He is KMP's oldest meerkat living as of right now and in the records of longest recorded living male. Mabilit was longest female and meerkat all together by 13 years.

    but it's natural for groups to lose members like this. But not always forever nor entirly. Some have had offspring which will carry on some of them a little longer.

  • Flower I love you so much and I miss you so much! You are the best!

  • Flower and Shakes were my Favs - I dont want Zaphod to go.

  • I think Zaphod is the only one left from the original crew - that is Flower, Youssarian, Zaphod, Shakespeare, Mozart, Tosca and Mitch.

  • Yes, Starting form season one Zaphod is the only survivor. And this December will be 11 years old

  • I miss her so much..

  • i miss her sooooooooo much. it's hard for me to watch meerkat mannor and see Flower and know that she's gone. this video is beautiful!

  • You made me Remember When- and I 'm still not over he death of Flower. Will any one of us ever be?

    Note- Zaphod is still alive; will be 11 years old this December.

    I still miss Flower so much. Thank you for sharing this with me. No body tells it like Alan Jackson. I need to stop crying

  • I wouldn't blame the snake. The snake was trying to defend itself. We have to be fair.

  • @toscaforever it was trying to defend itself when it snuck down her burrow and tried to kill her pups.

    That makes sense =_=

  • Comment removed

  • i luv u flower u rock

  • Flower I miss you more than Princess Di (and I wanted to bang her) and Bea Arthur ( I never wanted to bang her)

  • sweet =D

  • poor flower god damm u evil snake!!!

  • I miss you so much Flower! R.I.P Tosca, Mozart, and Flower :( :(

  • crap.....im tearing up.....poor flower.....and the whiskers....they lost their precious Flower... ='( R.I.P Flower!! we'll miss you!!

  • now her daughter took over. and now MITCH is the DM of the whiskers. cool enough, though Zaphod leaved. But still. RD has got to new pups!

  • Mitch is not the new dominante of the Whiskers. Mitch went missing a while ago and the domiante position beside Ella is Thundercat Lazuli.

  • did you know RocketDog has two new pups? its Nugget and the other i dont remember the name of :)

    i simply love Meerkat manor : the next generation.

    And what a good video !

  • Their names are Nugget and Beaker. I'm guessing youe just starting to watch season 4? It's been a good year since the season ended for me and a lot has happend since Rocket Dog was dominante.

  • Ding ding! we have a correct answer!

    how did u know? :D And yes its beaker.

    and YES they just started season 4 here in Denmark. were probably at the 4-5 episode. they send it on sunday and 19:00.

  • I figures because you seem a tab bit behind on whisker's current event's, Lol!

    What do you think of the season so far?

  • lol i am a little bit behind. But the season so far has been... Good..

    lol Axle isnt the best babysitter. But Sophie isnt better . She gets distracted by a male :D

  • This was very sad :( But this is Life. Every minute of every day a Mother dies for her child/children - be they Animal or Human Being. Hopefully those who watch the episode will understand just how much Mothers love their child/children. It is said if Mothers ruled the world there would be no more Wars :)

  • This is pretty cool =), Sad, but Cool.

  • this made me cry

    I REALY MISS FLOWER!!!!

    good work

  • aw i miss flower good job i love it

  • great job that was a rele good vid

    and i love the song 5* :3

  • Oh my gosh, this song had tears streaming down all kinds. I love this song, and I love Meerkat Manor. It's been a long time since I watched Meerkat Manor steadily because I wanted to watch the episodes in proper order and I didn't know for a long time the next season had come out, now I've really lost my place! I've soooo got to catch up!!

  • you rock

  • Glad I am posted as awsonja, WE loved "Flower: we saw her die to a Puff Ader" while tryong to save the babies,,,many tears

  • These little meercats are adorable love them. Lovely video Kathy.

    Carol x

  • oh i just subbed, this is the sweetes vid ever.. as i so love those lil meerkats and love this song and this actually made me cry as the memories this song always brings back touch me so much !

  • Thank you!

  • Zaphod is the dominant male once again of his own gang of 9 meerkats...

    Zaphod's new territory is quite far away from the whisker's territory.

  • Zaphods still with the Aztecs as far as KMP. its still got parts of Whiskers territory in it.

  • so sad :(

    R.I.P.

    flower.

  • Cool video

  • my mom loves youand i do and it wold be a great pleasher if you could come to tulsa oklahoma 31st the last house or send a letter my adres is 3608 i love you bi bi and if you could could you send a leeter from,brooke to alen jackens

  • Buaaaa¡¡¡ It's... It's...

    MAGNIFICENT¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • Thankyou

  • Sorry your retarded enough to watch videos you don't like and the copy someone elses comment and reword it because your not all that clever. so sad. But then again, i shouldn't care, Your an asshole anyways =/ Get the hell of My videos, Thankyou.

  • Sorry for yelling in the below post, Jax. But I can't stand for those losers who pick on meerkats. Or you. Agian, sorry for yelling Wow, I did't know I was that cruel!

    Anyways, as I've said many times, THE BEST VIDEO ON YT!!!

  • Hey no problem. When they post things like that they are asking for a fight form sonebody. And therefor deserve whats comming to thme.

    Thank you, though^^

  • Goddamn you for saying that! I understand if you don't like Flower as much as the others, but at least try some respect for the dead!!

    If you're too much of a retarded loser to say such awful things, then keep your trap SHUT! If you can't be respectful to others, ESPECIALLY my frineds, then go jump into a volcano butt naked, omfgwnkenny!!!

  • this is so great..

    R.i.p flower the great leader of the whiskers!

    she will be in my heart thats for sure!

    i <3 u flower... rest in peace. i hope shes looking down at her family from the sky.

    sadly they got splitted

  • Thanks for telling me something i already know. but you didn't read the part YOUR upset about, like HOW the study works. and why it does what it does.

  • You might as well marks whatever he sends as spam, because he's sending this comment to every video he finds to make people think what he thinks, which is spam.

  • I did, and did a few other things. he's just not getting the point of what goes on down there. and the diffrence between KMP and AP

  • Dear YouTube friends/Dear Meerkatgirl123: Someone must have raised the money or grants (government/Discovery Ch) to fund KMP.Experimenters/researchers are insensible.They needlessly kill animals for their experiments.They're used to it.Those meerkats we see lived/were killed in the KMP.Producers are parasites. Researchers and film crew were to be blamed for meerkats death.They're tracking meerkats.Sorry if I hurt you Meerkatgirl 123,you have been doing a wonderful work on meerkats.Thank you.

  • KMP is not funded by Animal Planet or Discovery Channel. they are a team form cambirdge university. the only time they ever put a meerkat to sleep is when i carried the deadly disease of TB, thus putting the animal out of its misery and getting ride of it so it dosn't spread to others. but they so NOT experament on these animals, just sit, watch and learn. Every now and then they take blood samples to learn family ties bu no harm comes to the animal and its later on relased to the family.

  • Over all, i think you, Delpoz1, need to go to the KMP site and read a little more about what your saying. i have a membership there and have talk to people who have gone and visited the meerkats. people just like you and me who would hate animals being harmed and they have reported none of this.

  • But no, i wasn't hurt. just explaining. and i DO know what Love, affection, Life, Death, Blood and Flesh is. Sorry that this reply is so lengthy and chopped. Youtube needs to update the character count.

  • Dear Meerkatgirl123:Firstly,this MM is not an study.Its purpose is to depict Meerkats day-to-day life environment/resemblances with human beings.Secondly,Meerkats and other animals have blood,feelings,andlove like humans.Thirdly,Meerkats/animal­s do not belong to any pretend-to-be researcher or country(but Africa),and lastly,I understand a study/research because I earned a PhD in Engineering Sciences.What about you?What are you?Do you know what love,respect,friendship,animal­s,life, death mean?

  • Meerkat Manor, the SHOW is not a study. its what you see on TV. These meerkats you see live in the KMP (Kalahari-Meerkat-Project) were they study meerkats and learn about their social groups. Yes i know they have flesh blood and feelings. do you take me as an idiot? its not pretend research. its a job, they are zooligists studing meerkats. Yes i know what it is but things die, thats life. its sad, but it happens. there is a diffrents between researchers and producers. The researchers care.

  • Obviously you don't understand study. i know how you feel. death is sad. but instead of having all your comments about it marked as Spam, make a videos to show it out. not use others videos.

  • she sadly died from a snake bite.. it bite her in the head .. the swallowed up and few hours later she passed... poor innoncent flower.. she tried to protect the pups with she succeeded but SHE died

  • Flower.....plz take rest now u...can't... u can't do more....let rocket dog...take care of ur family...Zaphod will always love u and remember u he won't forget....*walks away as tears fall on ground at a memorial grave i made for flower [i will make one in rl someday]*

  • aww so cute! tear tear!

  • I love this video so much. It makes me cry every time.. Flower and Zaphod were so happy together...

  • yeah same it is so sad

  • Thank You Meerkatgirl...

    I've watched this video dozens of times and it still makes me cry every time...

    Just Precious.

    Peace Love & Meerkats

    Kalahari Angel

  • Sad video, I really like it.

  • Damn Pochers >:[[[

    man...i wish Flower had lived...she was so sweet and a GREAT leader...even accepted a out-of-group pup and didnt kill it...

    RIP FLOWER...LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!

  • Anyways, Flower, I really wish you could've known something.

    I was such a loyal fan of yours, that for a school project I wrote a book report on...you guessed it...the Flower book. RIP Desert Rose!

  • I remember those cold winter days when I would, still in mourning of Flower, watch this by lamplight. I really belive that Flower died for a good cause. Long live the Queen, and long live the King! EXELLENT WORK!

  • great tribute i loved flower

  • there REAL names are Ren and Stumpy, or so you can say. they didn't ACTUALLY name them, but they (the researchers) called them that. Anyway, I LOVE the video. it made me cry

  • i know that they weren't given names except on public TV. but thank you =)

  • this was such a good video i couldnt turn my head for one moment:(

    i miss flower, rocketdog is nothing compared to her.

  • We love u Flower R.I.P we will always miss u and u were a great leader I will never 4get u!

  • also...my mom walked in wen i was watching that episode and i was at the part wen she died and she said "what happened? go back" (i have the dish thing were u can go foreward and backward and pause and record and stuff) and when she saw and figurd it out she was so sad!!! she watches most of the meerkat manor episodes....she started crying a little *sniff*

  • *sniff* she was wonderful! i can imagine Zphod holding her in his paws when she was dieing and singing this.....wonderful absolutely wonderful!

  • actually when she was dying zaphod scent marked her head and walked away.

    I know its terrible of me to ruin something like this, and dont get me wrong im not a hater

  • Wow im lost for words.How can one just stand there and see these cute things being eaten/killed.I remember the episode where Stumpies mate died when the mob ditched it and eagle grabed hold of it.I mean how can you just stand there and not do anything?Yes i agree its nature but its not like you're interfereing to destroy their habitat.Must be real cold hearted to watch something like that and not do anything.Absalutely disgusting!

  • I'm afriad i don't know who Stumpie is, but these things happen. its hard to sit and watch, but not always cold hearted.

  • Stumpy was Squiggy's name in the UK Meerkat Manor :]

  • i thought it might be. is what confused me what "Stimpies Mate" witch must be his litter mate, Len, or what thye call him in UK, Ren

  • Stumpy is Squiggy. They call Squiggy Stumpy in Britian

  • wah!!!! Im really going to miss flower!!! she was a super great leader and mother!!!We will miss u flower!:((

  • Thankyou all so much for the comments on this video <3 your comments really do mean a lot (not including the bashing ones) but i can't tell you how thankfull i am. this video has been Mention in the LA times and now on Nightline. ^_^. Thankyou!

  • No problem at all, Jax.

  • This video deserves it Jax, and so do you, it's truly amazing!

  • Ok, now I love Flower. I just can't bring myself to watch the rest of this video. She will be missed! Great choice of song by the way.

  • Rocket Dog died, too? How? I am not going to watch the show anymore. It is way too sad...you fall in love with these little critters and then watch them die. I don't think kids should see that or me either for that matter. I cry too much.

  • I loved Flower and it broke my heart when she died. What a brave little leader she was. Thank you for this tribute to her!

  • I cried so very hard when lovely Flower died. It broke my heart and I didn't watch Meerkat Manor for a long time after. That's how much I missed her...and still do. Thanks for this lovely tribute to her. Well deserved as she was a brave little leader.

  • yeah, i bet animals suffering cracks you up also? don't think i don'y know pets and animals die every day. stop making yourself look like a jerk and stay off my videos, seriously -.-

  • rocket dog was recently run over and killed. the dominate is ella

  • i already found out the day it happend... April 23 i think it was.

  • Run over in the desert? How???

  • you mean Rocket Dog? she wonders onto the main road running through the KMP and was hit by a car. the locals don't slow down for meerkats.

  • This is one of your best videos in my opinion. ^_^

    No offense, but I do prefer your older videos to the newer ones. I just think they're... better? :/

  • i tihnk this is my best video, and one of the first i actualy made an effort one. i'll agree that my oldrer Videos for Tosca and Carlos, Shakespeare and this one are probably the best...

  • i miss flower soooooo much thx for the vido

  • Meerkat Manor: The Story Begins comes out june 6, 2008 (the movies about Flower)

  • Ladies,I'm deeply sorry for being mean,I just felt like you where ignoring me and blocking me out.Which you were but that's cool,it'your choice.I'm just trying to heal some old wounds between me and some of the meerkat vetrans.I thought maybe the next generation would be a good place to start as they tend to be more open minded.Please forgive my boorishness and I shall darken your door no more.S.A.S

    P.S-meerkats aren't boring and my spelling was no better than yours at your age.

  • Have in mind that most of the videos make need my aproval over everyones comments. tyhat dosn't mena i'm ignoreing you, just trying to make sure no really nasty comment get in. also i don't reply to every comment i get incase you think thats ignoring you. i simple don't have the time to comment on 50 vieos a day. and i only really make an effort to spell in school... but at least you were kind enough to say sorry for what happen. thankyou for that.

  • seem you would have been fine with your first aoplogies untill you posted this witch i find quite rude. i pust up a thing were my comment have to be aprived before public can see them to avoid rude comments like this. my videos arn't a place to settle fights. do that in privet messages
