There's a zoo in Madrid called Faunia, where they have more natural environments. We passed by the meerkat section and were all "that's cute. Amy Adams' character from Junebug would FLIP if she knew of the existence of this place!" Then they brought out lunch, which we thought would be great, because animals are more fun when they're eating (at a zoo, at least). But then we saw that their food was baby chicks. At first it was neat, because we were surprised, but then it was too graphic.
Later, we went to a hatchery exhibit, where they showed them hatching... baby chicks!
I've never been able to see meerkats the same way since.
On the show they just eat worms and scorpions and stuff. I think they purposely show them eating ugly things so as not to take away from the adorableness of the meerkats. You haven't lived until you've witnessed a baby meerkat trying to eat a scorpion.
I promise you will not be disappointed! I missed last weeks episode and almost died of a broken heart. But I think they are reairing it before this weeks episode, so I'll be able to catch up.
