Don’t be fooled - meerkats aren’t all cute and cuddly! These small, African mammals live in matriarchal societies, with an alpha female that is in control of who is allowed to breed. Meerkats that break the rules face some extreme consequences. Our researcher Dr Natalie Cooper tells us all about the dark side of meerkats.

Interacting with nature may therefore be important not only for our survival and improving local biodiversity, but also for our quality of life.

    good effort. I am doing a rewilding project on a smaller scale (112 acres) on a hillside in New Zealand. I note in your footage there are lots of deer. From my experience on my project, the deer are the biggest threat to forest diversity. Every young seedling they will eat the tips and constantly mow them OR the stags will come and rub between their antlers and thus stripping the side branches and ring barking the tree for a quick death. At first I was very disappointed to realize that I needed to kill the deer because it seemed at odds with my conservation views but there is no way around it if I want to reforest this hillside and try return something back to a native New Zealand forest state. I'd be alarmed if the deer were not a problem for your forest goals.

    The Animalogic channel recently released a video on hermaphroditism. It’s a very interesting topic and just goes to show how “weird” and wonderful gender and sexuality are in nature. It also is a way to show who the bigots are.

    Natural History Museum, Thank you very much, thhat was very interesting and learned a lot! 1. I always believed that laying eggs would somehow leave grooves in the nearby bones of birds and dinosaurs. Especially if the animal is small and the egg is large. And that way you could tell the female apart from the male if you just had bones and no plumage and scales or skin left. 2. I would like a life as this fish that starts completely asexual and lives monogamously and changes sex during their life several times. I would just like the experience of living from all perspectives. I also really like the idea of turning asexual if life is too hard and exhausting for a while. (Which the fish doesn't. But I would.) Thank you very much!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⚧️

    This video is really just a plug for the NHM book - A Little Gay Natural History by Josh L Davis - that Stephen Fry (no less) endorses thus : " [this] splendid book is a most useful settler of arguments and silencer of bigots". Well I must be a bigot then, given the unscientific chapter headed "Can an animal be gay?" @ 22.46 on the video, concerning certain species of sheep ("big horn" apparently - I kid you not) and the confused mix & match sexuality of hyenas in the following chapter ; variously claimed to be both gay & lesbian (not to mention BTQ+) in a sweeping piece of clumsy anthropomorphism according to a purely human agenda. Nice try, though... Ho-hum.

    Really? Who cares if someone is homosexual or not? People are people. Why the NEED to keep labelling folk! It's their achievements, successes, discoveries, how they inspire, or even their failures, that need to be celebrated, or mentioned. It's immaterial if they are gay or not. STOP having to 'tack on "...and he was gay..." And??? GET over it. And GET on with LIFE!

    that jewel was stolen by Edward Heron Allen in the 1880s in Egypt, Allen was stationed in Egypt at that time, he is not from India, be careful not to speculate too much, but I imagine you have already been attacked. that device is the will of Marduk and Sarpanitum, Marduk put it away before dying in the battle against Ninurta. the device's security systems kill anyone who claims to own it or touches it too much. it is an alarmed device. speculations about imaginary things are very harmful to intellectual development... in 2016 they changed the name from Edward Heron Allen's Amethyst to Delhi Purple Sapphire. the device contains the will of Marduk and Sarpanitum
