Spy In The Wild
The Spy Creatures are on another extraordinary mission as they discover how friendships are a vital part of animal societies. Spy Wolf Cub joins a pack of arctic wolves, where a real cub's survival depends on friendships in one of the harshest environments in the world. Spy Cub is anointed into the pack by a she-wolf that marks him with her own scent. Spy Warthog meets some real warthogs and discovers the extraordinary relationship they have with mongoose. He even experiences the mongoose's personal grooming service as they explore every nook and cranny. Spy Hippo comes face to face with an angry hippo, before discovering their relationship below the surface with some very fishy skin clinicians. Spy Cobra meets the real meerkat mob and is quickly dispatched with a show of unified force. A walking and swimming Spy Crocodile finds the nest site of a real crocodile and reveals the extraordinary relationship they have with the tiny dikkop bird, who will not only stand up to the crocodile but joins them in a neighbourhood watch scheme against marauding monitor lizards. Spy Rattlesnake helps uncover the mysteries of prairie dogs - who have the most extraordinary and complex language in the animal world. In the colony, Spy Prairie Dog finds the cutest owls on earth and we learn how they rely upon each other for protection against coyotes.

“It’s a prank bro! The camera’s right there!”

I'm guessing the Robot Meerkat would be the human equivalent of a 9 foot tall, scruffy-looking hobo.

[Concomienzo]

At the end cobra was like: Hi I'm Cobra Quiñones, and this is What Would You do?, the TV show.

[daretemp]

“Easy to lose focus.”

Meerkat: *falls to it’s own doom*

[maddymae]

I love how even the babies went to protect their colony.

On the next episode of BBC: here we see a human texting. See how it watches eagerly for tinder to find it a mate. but its using no regular phone, it's a spy phone.

I almost cried when all his homies came

[dinohall]

I wish they still aired Meerkat Manor on Animal Planet. Aside from being downright adorable, they have really fascinating family dynamics, and the stories of their day-to-day lives are genuinely more dramatic and entertaining than most soap operas and sitcoms.

[sethsamuel]

Hope this won't desensitise them to the real danger of the real cobra, BBC.

Looking at the thumbnail...
I was like "THAT'S TIMON*" 😂

[joseph]

I like how the crocs, bears, wild dogs can’t figure out it’s a robot but the meerkats figured it out in no time I bet the first meerkat is the laughing stock on the crew now that it got spooked by a robot 😂

[terlinapawlamik]

The fake meerkat looked almost as cute as the real ones, except it couldn't do the cute things real meerkats do.

[angelserenade]

"they go back to what they enjoy best - relaxing with their friends"

I think I should have been a meerkat...

[IlhamAzrael]

Meerkat Gang : You came to the wrong neighbourhood, fool

[wsg]

Y’all need to make the movements better, the way the snake striked was just sad-

[WildernessChanneling]

It's amazing that even in this day and age, mankind still can't top the beauty of nature.

[귀엽네냥냥이]

spy snake: "boo!"
meerkats: **attack**
spy snake: "chill bros it's just a prank! look there're cameras in my eyes"
meerkats: "....what a weirdo" **walks away**

[horsepower]

The meerkats were like: "That cobra is fake news. Let's go back to sleep."

[karoonboomie]

Love how the tongue on the spy snake quivers side to side, looks so real

[kingmuddy]

The meerkat calling reinforcements is me after I finish farming soldiers
