Meerkats at the Prospect Park Zoo Get Presents!

[ajbarreca]

it was a tough fight.....

[rileyup4077]

3 meercats do not like working for their food

[misspinkpunkykat]

Just like human children, they perfer to play with the box than the actual present.

[MeerkatGal]

Haha, that is so cute! Funny how they all just pile up inside the box after a good meal. Thankyou for sharing! :)

[ebolaoutkast]

Not so cute for the meal worms

 (and I'll re-post this 3 times if idiots delete my comment again)

[jessicarh87]

@ebolaoutkast ah we all play a role in life

[ebolaoutkast]

@jessicarh87 HUH?

[jessicarh87]

@ebolaoutkast you said it wasn't funny for the worms..

[ebolaoutkast]

@jessicarh87 It's not. So what does your comment mean? Does that mean that just because life feeds other life, that we need to mock it and put living animals in stupid 'presents' for the public to enjoy? Are we going to do that with live rabbits and snakes too?

[jessicarh87]

@ebolaoutkast possibly

[ebolaoutkast]

@jessicarh87 Hm. So much for that.

[jessicarh87]

@ebolaoutkast so much for what? Can you not face the circle of life?

[ebolaoutkast]

@jessicarh87 So much for you simply understanding my point. If you think it would be appropriate to put live rabbits in presents for snakes then there's no point in further discussion.

[jessicarh87]

@ebolaoutkast lol it's the inevitable hunny you just gotta face the truth about nature. It's a hell of a lot better than what I've seen people actually feed snakes..frozen rabbit babies.. I mean I'm not saying it isn't cruel but it's LIFE

[ebolaoutkast]

@jessicarh87 Feeding live animals in presents is 'inevitable'? You aren't even understanding me at all. I feed my snakes frozen baby and adult rats. See how you don't comprehend things?

[jessicarh87]

@ebolaoutkast lol no you're getting messages that you want. I was saying that death aka the circle of life is inevitable. The present thing was actually them giving caged wild animals the opportunity to hone in on natural instincts like curiosity and foraging..what should they have put in the boxes for them, Xbox live or a Rolex? Come on get real.

[ebolaoutkast]

@jessicarh87 I'm showing you your lack of reading comprehension because I never said I was against the "the circle of life". My complaint was about the spectacle aspect of this display. The presents are for the amusement factor. Please tell me you understand now -_-

[jessicarh87]

@ebolaoutkast god get a life and shut the fuck up about some fucking worms. who cares if it WAS partly for amusement they did their job it was cute :)

[ebolaoutkast]

@jessicarh87 Learn reading comprehension and stop wasting my time you dumbass `_`

[jessicarh87]

@ebolaoutkast nah It's kinda fun getting you all pissed off over some worms

[ebolaoutkast]

@jessicarh87 I got pissed off because I'm surronded by so many freakin dumbasses. But then again I guess it's just, as you say, the role you play in life.

[jessicarh87]

@ebolaoutkast Exactly! lmao why you keep the conversation going if I'm such a dumbass? are you that desperate? Myself I like seeing the anger in your messages I find it hilarious for someone to get so worked up over nothing they can control..giggity

[recnepsmaharg]

Just like Kids, Give them a nice present and they end up playing with the box!

[Toobulations]

Lol, funny! I like how they still try and dig in the dirt to get the worms out of the box.

[Tripooch]

my dog looks like a meerkat lol. i have a three legged dog named Lexy and i am going to be posting videos of her and her life as a tripawd so check it out when you get the chance

[Snauzer67]

Lol

[maychen]

[leo811sf]
