Fan Site Statement from Mick Kaczorowski

Here it the latest update from the Kalahari. The crews have been very busy. It's very hot in the desert filming the members of the Whiskers family for season 3, which you will see this summer. There’s lots of action and intrigue and a new group of meerkats called the Starkies are playing a bigger role in the Whiskers lives. I can't tell you too much more about them, but just like the Lazuli they are becoming more of a threat, as the Whiskers are forced to search outside their territory to find food for themselves and their family. We also continue to film Meerkat Manor: Queen of the Kalahari, the feature film based on the Meerkat Manor television series. I wanted to let you, our most loyal fans, know some sad news about Flower. Like her brave son Shakespeare, Flower was bitten by a poisonous snake and succumbed to her injuries. She was simply not strong enough to live through the attack. Flower's life and reign were longer than most and she will always be one of my favorite meerkats. I know she will be missed by everyone. All of this will unfold in the next season, and we will see who becomes the next leader of the Whiskers as life continues in the Kalahari.
