Members DAMfan Posted April 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2008 After the snake bite - Flower did not die right then, she lingered for awhile, the other Whiskers went out to get food- while they were gone - Flower passed away and the researchers took her body away, so the family doesn't know she died, just that she is not there anymore and her mate Zaphod wasn't roving for female meerkats he has been searching for Flower.

Members Kay Posted April 27, 2008 Members Share Posted April 27, 2008 Oh, man. That's awful. I can't believe they tried to spin it and make it appear as though Zaphod was looking for some action. That's really terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ArizonaDaze Posted April 28, 2008 Members Share Posted April 28, 2008 Oh, I did not know this. That seems so much worse if the family doesn't know where she is is. Do you know why the researchers did this? Thanks for the info DAMfan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DAMfan Posted April 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 I don't know why researchers took Flower's body away, maybe they thought there might be problems with the family if they took her away when they were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DAMfan Posted May 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 There is good word about the Meerkat Manor movie that will be shown on Animal Planet 5/25 - those who have seen it love it and say have the kleenex ready and the photography is amazing.

Members ArizonaDaze Posted May 22, 2008 Members Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks for the update on the Meerkat special. Am looking forward to it, but not to Flower dying again. : I heard about the special on the researchers too. I will be watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DAMfan Posted May 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 The wait is almost over - will finally get to see Flower's movie tonight and for tonight the channel could be called Flower's Place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DAMfan Posted May 27, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 Liked the MM movie, but thought there were way too many commercial breaks - would have like to have seen the whole movie without the interruptions - liked seeing Flower as a pup growing up and into a leader - also like the hint at the end that there may be a Shakespeare movie.

Members ArizonaDaze Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 Really good movie. Loved seeing Flower as a baby and also seeing how she became dominate female as I didn't start watching Meerkat Manner until last summer It was very interesting to see how they film the Meerkats.They get so close! Am looking forward to the new season. I really appreciate all the info you supply DAMfan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
