Great links. Thank you. The meerkats are so cute. I can watch the midnight feeding of the kats tonight. I live just north of Miami. I can visit the zoo, and see the little ones in person.

Boy there is one little sentry on the termite mound. I think I have seen 4. Great for meerkat withdrawal symptoms....  You are so lucky...they look so meerkat fit; like in the Kalahari; not zoo plump!

They are two sentries now. They take their job very seriously. The keeper said that the zoo has a lot of birds, that's why the sentries are so diligent! They do look fit. They move so fast in front of the camera.

They must be happy. The temperature is 90 degrees plus the last fews days. It's still 86 degrees, at 8PM (north of Miami).

They all disappeared suddenly, at sunset, or so, as meerkats do.

I love watching these little guys. I've been looking at them for 2 months now. Their feeding time is at 8:30am and 12:30pm, it's a must see. They sometimes get paper to play with. I don't know why, but they love paper.

I'm sorry, I should have said 12.30pm feeding time. I believe in the morning the meerkats are fed between 8.15 and after 9 (sometimes even later, at 10), as people mention in comments that are posted in the nbc6 news website.

I was watching this morning. The first meerkat appeared at around 6.36am (eastern). They sleep under the mound.

The link for the Colorado Springs zoo is great, but the page doesn't refresh automatically. The manual refreshing cannot be done for too long. These kats are plump; very cute, of course. I saw at least seven. The Miami Metro zoo has six kats, they all have names, they are about ten years old, and they are very active. I saw the morning feeding the day before yesterday (8.30am) by Adam, the "keeper". He obviously likes them very much. He spent a lot of time with them, he handfed them, although he didn't touch them (even when they went up on his knee). A lady fed the kats in the afternoon. If you blinked you missed her. They were fed live insects. Unfortunately, she was the one that fed them yesterday morning (around 10am). She just put a bowl of food on the ground and left. One kat has the habit of laying inside the bowl (very cute).

On my computer the cam updates every second. So if a meerkat scurries away really fast, it looks as if they vanished into thin air!!!!!

That must be the answer as to why mine looks weird. Thanks SG

Thanks for the links- I'm right now watching the little sentry on the mound checking out the sky in Miami-how cute!

The Miami camera updates every second, so the picture looks choppy. It's nice, anyway. Today somebody was cleaning the enclosure, and the kats were fed very late (morning feeding).

There is one now on top of the mound. The sun is shining on him. His head just keeps turning watching for the birds of prey.
So sweet...

Time to satisfy the meerkat withdrawal symptoms for a little while.

While I was at our zoo yesterday, I told one of the staff at the future Pt Defiance meerkat manor about the web cam sites here & she seemed excited about it so I'm hoping they set one up too!  I like having all these outlets for the meerkat cravings!

I just love to check out what they are doing - love the little nugget sitting on top watching out for danger.
