Did they take down the cam? The link donsnt work anymore.

(For me)

<c

The CS kats look really big - hope they are getting enpough exercise.

Check in on the CS kats and it's covered with snow and no kats are out.

2 kats out today with a bit of snow in the enclosure. I wish this webcam moved a bit faster. Updating evry minute ia a tad slow but at least it's working.

I am now content. I have seen a meerkat in person. We are visiting Ft. Lauderdale and made a trip down to the Miami Metro Zoo last Wednesday. They were SO cute! But, I must admit, the enclosure they are in is much smaller than I thought it was. Although I was thrilled to see them, I felt bad that they didn't have more room to move about.

CS kats are out this morning - looking really content.

CS kats look happy today sitting on their stumps - would like to see the Miami kats again.

I received this email from the Miami Zoo today....

Good morning Meerkat fans:

We are still waiting to hear from NBC6, if they do not pick up our web cam we are going to start looking for another host to carry the cam.

Ron Magill is working on this and will let us know if there are any prospects.

If you have any information on a potential donor for web cam services, please let us know. We are all looking forward to seeing the kats again.

Thank you,

Carla Baker

Woo-Hoo! MM Miami wll be back

this was posted on NBC6's web forum page,"I got an e-mail last week and was told that the live feed is not something that is going to be carried anymore. If anyone hears of anymore live feeds of our little furry friends, please let me know at Touche1000@centurytel.net. If anyone hears anything else about the Miami Metrozoo live feed, I'd appreciate knowing that too. Dianne."how unfortunate for us!!!!!!

The CS kats are so cute this morning, but they look so big I hope they are healthy too.

for all who really missed the"kats",their baaaack.http://www.nbcmiami.com/station/community/Metro-Zoo-Meerkat-Cam

I got the email too.....yeah yeah yeah!!! They're back!!!!!!!!

Woo-Hoo, MM Miami is back! A bit late to be looking today but I'll be up early manana to check them out

Well I've been checking this out at all times of day & have yet to see a meerkat or even the vegetation move for that matter. Is the cam really working?

Meergato.....

I think there was a bad storm and something happened. I believe someone said it will be back up soon.

It rained for 14 days, it stopped for a couple, and then they were terrible storms again the last two days in southeastern Florida.

And we know meerkats hate to get wet.

so cute they have a lot of sentries

Kats rule

They are so cute!!

AAAAWWWWWWWWW

Yeah there is a kat running around - I am so happy!!

It's so great to have MM Miami up & running again

Just 2 kats running around and doing what kats do.

There are couple of kats - lying down - would like to give them a hug.

Looks like they had some rain there - puddles and birds are eating out of the kats dish - don't see any kats out.

I see a kat getting some exercise - taking a moring lap.

See one kat running around and one kat is sitting in the food bowel.

There are 3 kats out this morning - looks like they are having a good time.

Ah, this webcam is more like it. Lots of activity even late in the day. Think I found my reason to upgrade to a larger external monitor, a ten inch screen doesn't do the little kats justice.

There is a kat and bird out this morning.

Little one is taking a katnap - how cute.

Couplle kats out this morn - digging around.

Looks like they had rain there all I see are puddles.

Ah, got my fix. Hard to break away when everyones' out & about.

One kat is watching out for danger - I feel better now and safer.

Just saw a couple of kats this morning and they look so cute.

Couple kats having a nice Sunday.

From ~MIAMI~ THis is us they are talking about...& others!!!!!!!

Florida Keys tourism council has started a 24-hour webcam devoted to turtle nests. The broadcast is supposed to catch baby turtles hatching and frolicking in the sand before making their way out to sea. Get your popcorn ready.

Whether the idea will hit or miss is unclear. After all, people still tune in to the wildly popular Meerkat cam at Metrozoo (trust us, we have the numbers).

The tourism council is banking on the untapped hyper-enthusiastic turtle-nest-watching crowd (all eight of them) to generate dollars for the area’s struggling economy.

here's the link:

Just saw a couple of kats relaxing and having a nice Sat.

Just saw a kat resting and enjoying the sun.

Just saw a kat doing is duty watching our for danger - guess all the kats are having a nice Labor Day.

One kat is digging around and looks like one is sleeping in the food bowel - must be nice to be a kat.

AH - there is a kat taking a nap on stump - so cute.

I watch the meerkats since the thread started. I always said that I would see them in person soon since I don't live too far from the zoo. I will probably go when it's cooler in November.

Looks like they had rain - there are a couple of puddles, couple of kats are running around.

The Miami Meerkat cam, I can get everything but the cam!! Its just a big black square, no matter what I try I can't get the cam to work. I do have another I found recently, and its a Scotland Zoo, they recently got a male and female who had pups! Nothing is cuter than a meerkat pup, I watch them all the time, soon as I turn on my computer, I go straight to the cam, to see what they are doing, and you can hear them too. Heres the link, Enjoy!!

Thank you for the new link.

Regarding the Miami Metro Zoo Meerkat Webcam, if a big dark square is visible only, it is probably because it is night time in the eastern coast of the US (right now it gets dark by about 7 o' clock). The camera cannot be adjusted by viewers.

Oh Thanks Zettak, I didn't think of that, and I live on the eastern coast! only nowhere near Miami, I'm in CT. Didn't you like the Drummond Zoo cam, its a bit dark, but you can watch the pups, and hear them chirp and the little 'barks' that they do.

I actually got to see meerkats on my summer vacation, this year, it was a top priority for me. When I learned they were at a zoo in Massachusetts,The Capron Park Zoo, only one state away from me. I did go, and they are even sweeter in person. I got some great pics of them. I wish I could go more often, my family had to drag me away from them! I disagree with the fact that some say they have 'beady' eyes, I didn't think so at all, their eyes are much bigger than a squirrel or rabbit, they are much larger, almost humanlike, making them of course more endearing!
