RIP Flower

Hi,

They are fascinating little creatures. Apparently when Flower was killed by a snake, there was worldwide grief (well, OK, regrets )

At Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo you can go into the meerkat enclosure and do a supervised feed encounter (no petting though). I'm going to try that as soon as I can.

Cheers

I started to watch this show once, and then got scared something might happen to one of them, so stopped watching. See... this why I have banned myself from watching any wildlife programmes, I get too upset when an animal is killed. . Grief, not regret .
I enjoy steak though, does that count .
