Anyone watching? Love this type of programme.

Really very interesting and something different. Love Liz, she is so good and very natural. (Didn't she look different under the special light? Being a blonde just didn't suit her) Who'd have thought that ants would be so interesting. The cute meerkats were the best though!

Missed it - good news, it's repeating tonight (6th March ) at 2200 on BBC4 for anyone interested

My friend and I went to a local wildlife place a few years ago. They had a Meerkat enclosure but the little monsters would escape during the day. Being mugged (for food) by a Meerkat is a unique experience.

We were also followed around by the noisiest and most persistent birds ever - geese. They weren't happy until they got every scrap of food off us.

Animals can be really fascinating. I don't think that they should be kept in captivity - but some of them have a better standard of living than if they were out in the wild being a potential snack by a predator.

Night folks - my bosses have advised me that it is time for bed. One is saying meow but the other says eek. Odd animals.

Mine just screamed for me to get up again, well one did.
Giving her the benefit of the doubt ATM, 'cos she had dental surgery on Monday.
£172 if you please, don't pay MY dentist that much for me !!

I was watching a story about an orphaned baby elephant, one week old, rescued from a disused well by some locals who took it to an animal orphanage. Very moving.
