About World's Deadliest:
World’s Deadliest Predators is a new series that looks at most riveting moments of animal predation, breaking down the struggle for survival and supremacy into five action-packed episodes. Top Hunters focuses on the most feared animals in their class: animals at the top of their food chain; the hunters who are prey to no other animal. Killer Packs illustrates when predators multiply their advantage over prey by banding with others of their species to hunt. Lethal Weapons shows that the physical attributes and built-in concealed weapons have the ability to make an animal a top predator. Our Superpowers episode focuses on the animals that see, hear, and smell better than any others…and that relative to their size on are the fastest and strongest creatures on the planet. And whether it is over food, territory or sex, animals go to war within their species and against other species…Battles dissects these conflicts, from the strategy to the play-by-play. These five episodes bring together dozens of species, which are extraordinary, savage, and the World’s Deadliest Predators.

Meerkats' Mob Rule | World's Deadliest

Nat Geo Wild

[mrgumbwit]

Always so funny and adorable when they stand up especially when together XD

[greyson]

So they hunt and pounce like cats, bark like dogs, dig burrows like bunnies, work in teams like ants, eat insects like birds, and strike fast like snakes, and stand up like humans?? Dam.

[wadeverine]

Meerkats are too cute 'n funny. They are extraordinary guards.

[christopher]

They all take their jobs so seriously. I love it!

[rathnam.a]

Such cuties they are. Very adorable and very skilled and amazing teamwork- wow!!! A meerkat on the camerman's head- this is the cutest thing I have seen in a long while. Hahaha.

[pequawket]

They look so cute but I see they have another side. Amazing they can survive in a place that is so extreme. I could watch them all day.

[stacey]

One of my favorite animals! I love when my hamster stands straight up... We say she's meercating. So cute❤️

[wolfenstien]

Imagine if Meerkats had the same aggressiveness as short people. I can see a Mob of Meerkats running up onto you with baseball bats.

[jasonsprouse]

Meerkats crack me up especially when they are standing.

[terryv]

I can hear Timon saying "Crunchy, yet satisfying" as he eats that scorpion.

[leahtreck]

Aloha, this is an an informative video and thank you for NOT showing graphic violence. That’s amazing that meerkats are immune to scorpion venom. They look so cute when they stand up and I love their teamwork.

[monikongkonagogoi]

My cats stand up like them... n so when I see my cats standing it always reminds me of meerkat...so funny n cute😘😘
Although two of my cats died.. so seeing this video made me sad again n nostalgic 😢

[Jimfeelfree_]

So this how Timon passes his time with the family

[thomashisted]

I always see them as a mafia.

1:"Eyy, where's my lizard? You promised me that lizard Benny."

2: "don't worry boss, I'll have it for you soon, just a little more time."
1: "You don't have it? Benny come here, you understand that you're like family to me ey? I require some trust. If that trust is broken, I send some of my boys over here to deal with it."
2:"I know boss."
1:"You'll get me my lizard by tomorrow?"
2:"Sure thing."
1:" I always trusted you."

[louisaisthankful]

Meerkats and cheetahs are my favorite animals. Thanks for posting these cuties.

[gluemuncher]

I'm pretty sure this is my spirit animal. I used to be one in my past life.
