I wouldn’t mind having a meerkat use me as a watch tower .

[paradigm_shft]

"Hey guys! Those mobile watch-towers are back!"

[Dakuu]

"Will you keep still up there, please."
"Shush, talking tree. I am look for danger."

[GinaMacArt]

How adorable is that. I didn't realise how little they were until they were with the photographer. 😂❤🇦🇺

[latonyamarie]

He’s using him as an observation tower. They are too cute.😂

[PsychicThursday]

"Swift, is taking shade in the shadow of our director's buttocks... There's some substantial shade there."

That was substantial shade. 😂

[sergeantsilly]

Meerkat: Hippity Hoppity, this head is now my *property*

[jessicajayes]

They're like "Aww, he's so useful! Can we keep him?"

[fourthhorsemendeath]

"Can you keep still up there please?"

Meerkat: "shut up rock"

"And if I see far, it is because I stood on the heads of giants." - meerkat wise man

[TheAzozoi]

A prime example of symbiotic relationship between the man and the meerkat.
The merkat can climb on the man head and thus having a great place to scout from..
Meanwhile, the man have a meerkat on his head.
It's win-win.

[smudge]

Most animals: "Humans are dangerous, stay away from humans"

Meerkats: "Hakuna matata, what a wonderful phrase"

[koudjes]

"Ive filmed with elephants, gorillaz, bears, and none of them have ever sat on my head"

Him: "Having lots of contact with the scientists studying their daily habits, they simply see them as part ...."
Me: "..of the family. Aww".
Him: "..of the lanscape".
Me:

[zameliz]

Most animals: *sees a human* "what is that terrifying creature?"
Meerkats: *sees a human* "oh look, it's one of those handy perches to sit on"

[GottSegneDich]

“Taking shade behind the directors buttocks. That’s some substantial shade.” 😂

[abhinav_bammidi]

I'm hearing to the voiceover and I just realized that it's Richard Hammond. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
