Episode 143: Magical Meerkats

Episode 143: Magical Meerkats

We are under the weather here at All Creatures, so this week we went to the vault and pulled out an episode we did in August 2019 for our Patreon supporters. We were slated to do Warthogs, but instead, we will release Meerkat this week and follow it up with Warthog next week. Meerkats are beloved by many. These small mammals inhabit the southern reaches of Africa and survive in some harsh terrain. They have also evolved some incredible and endearing behaviors. Another amazing species to learn about. Please considering supporting us at Patreon HERE. For one cup of "good" coffee a month you can support your favorite podcast and give back to conservation. We also offer bonus episodes and supporter only content. We also donate portions of what we raise to a conservation organization each month. We will be sending money to Australia for relief this month and have supported African Penguins, African Wild Dogs, White Sharks in recent months and many other species thanks to our donors.
