Everyone is up and busy. One sentry standing
duty atop the termite mound was temporarily
replaced by another "kat" (potty break?). An
other "kat" keeping their eye on things while
standing atop the stumps. Three little
ones scurrying around the mound and grasses. Patchy sun mostly against the wall.
I am off to Germany now. Have a good day, y'all.

Had some busy little "kats" this afternoon
(6 p.m. EDT). Zettak, do you or any one else know what
they are getting out of the soil beyond the
occasional ant or two?

Other insects. According to the meerkat keeper, Adam, when a small snake enters the enclosure, the meerkats mob it, kill it, and eat it.

Thanks for the data, Zettak. I can always count
on you!
My visit a few minutes ago showed a sentry atop
the termite mound, one "kat" peering through
the hole in the mound; two in the tall grasses
and at least one on the ground. It appeared to be a little overcast today, was it?
Glad to hear a dessert slithers in now and then!

P.S. So far, this Hurricane Season seems a bit
docile, what do you think?

So sad. No meerkats today - they all went to see the doctor.

Yes the Miami kats are having their yearly physicals, hope the all pass with flying colors.

Must have rained in Miami, there is a puddle and a kat is drinking from it.

They're digging around right now, and a couple of minutes ago one of them was a sentry. He was on watch, then boom, down he goes like a furry bullet! It looked like a flying meerkat ^^

They are very fast.

The hurricane season was not bad so far, but the water in the Atlantic is very warm in August, and September.

They're having Siesta time now - sounding like a good idea for a cloudy Sat. here

Miami must have had a visit from Washington's weather!

It's raining in South Florida the last few days. I don't see any meerkats.

Looks like the kats have been digging holes in the yard - guees they ar looking for grubs.

Good morning everyone... the cam is working and the meerkats are running.....my fix for the day...and a beauty it is too.

Adam said yesterday that they would be keeping the meerkats inside until after Fay has passed. Also, one of the females had to have surgery to remove a mass and is recovering well. Still waiting for Adam to post the pathology report. Please let it good news for the little girl!!

Although the eye of the storm hit the southwestern part of Florida (the storm is going toward the northeastern part now) we, at the southeastern part (I live about 80 to 90 minutes north of Miami, in Palm Beach Gardens), had torrential rain, wind, and tornadoes. It was a bad night, and day. It still is.

Kats are running around and look so happy to be out.

Unfortunately, more rain.

One Miami kat sitting on a stump, maybe he/she is watching out for more storms.

Has the site gone down? I can't get into it right now.

It seems it's down.

I cannot get it either. It seems frozen. The one meerkat has been sitting on the stump for a day or two. Does anyone have any news? I miss them. =^..^=

Adam did say that they think the camera might have been hit by lighting and a part is on order. No update on the path report on the female who was operated on.

Please keep us posted. =^..^=

Will do.

Jferret - Any repair news yet? I'm having withdrawel symptoms!

Meergato, the only thing we've seen posted is that they are working on it. I sure hope they get it fixed real soon. Those withdrawl symptoms are getting to me. lol

The web cam is still out of order.

Where are all the little fuzzies???? Still not working????

Metro Zoo Live Camera (Temporarily Out Of Order)

OMG how long is "temporarily"?

Schucks....at least right now there is a meerkat on a tree stump!

Hope the Miami kats are doing o.k. miss seeing the little ones.

Has anyone been in touch with the zoo to find out if and when the camera will be working again? =^..^=

Many cks, over & over again....

Thanks ccatz. This is cool. I didn't get to see the Miami kats but I see the other ones. The other camera takes a picture every minute so it doesn't seem like it is live. It's still cool! You all are the reason I keep coming back.

happy thanksgiving to all,good news,it's looks like the meercam is up and running,but it also looks like it needs alittle tweeking

Thanks for letting us know - it is good to see the Miami kats again and know the little one is watching out for danger and keeping us safe and a safe and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!

Awesome...What a marvelous surprise for this beautiful day....

Can't wait for tomorrow....

YEAH!!!!!! =^..^=

I am so glad that the meercam is up and running again. I can't wait until tommorow when I can see the Miami Meerkats again.

Welcome to the burrow Chaser!
I still miss Flower every day

There's the prettiest little sentry perched on the mound, but yes, the cam needs a little adjustment.

I am in total bliss!! The sentry did run away but returned!! Oh joy to have the meercam back (even if it does need adjustment)

The camera was adjusted at 9:20 am this morning. I still do not see the blog section tho. At least we get to see the kats again!!
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!

The camera is working again. It's great.

The meerkats were out before, now it's raining and they are hiding.

I dont post on here alot, but I do peek at the kats often. Nice to see the camera working again!

I peeked today but did not see any kats. I think it was raining there. =^..^=

It's 9:00 AM, the sun is shining and the 'kats are out! It's a GOOD day!

It is 1:13p.m. and the sun is still shining and everyone is on the move. Looks like a real nice day there. I used to live in Fla. for part of the year and sure miss it.
Does anyone know if there is some kind of net above the enclosure to keep birds of prey from swooping in? I have been wondering about that for some time. =^..^=
