Meerkat Manor, now in its third season, is the most unusual reality show on TV. It follows the exploits of a family of meerkats. Standing tall at only one foot high, the meerkat is a small member of the mongoose family that thrives in one of the driest places on Earth – the Kalahari Desert. On the surface, the meerkats seem like adorable creatures, but do their cute façades mask their true colors? These highly social creatures are precocious and tough enough to send a cape cobra slinking into a hole.
View an episode of Meerkat Manor with your students prior to the webinar at the official website on AnimalPlanet.com!

I can’t stand Stockard Channing’s narration of the movie and now the new season. Whose idea was it to hire this woman and not Sean Astin who has done a fantastic job from day one?
We are muting her voice and reading the caption instead.
Bring back Sean!!!

I love Season 4 and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a Season 5, while I know alot of viewers aren’t happy with the change I’m just hoping that the negative comments will not alter the vision for a Season 5.
I’ve become very interested in watching the Commandos and hope in Season 5 they will follow even more of the families out there. Afterall practically every family has original members of the Whiskers, which in itself is amazing.
I would also like to see a documentary of the habitation of the wild meerkats that is going on right now.

Sean Astin was perfect as the narrator for Meerkat Manor. It was a step backward to replace him with Stockard Channing. Her sultry voice takes one’s attention from the action of the meerkats. Bring back Sean!!
