They're so cute in the larval stage!


And unlike Penguins and Flamingos, these predate the cretatious-tertiary boundary.

Did you know that mosquitoes eat their young? It's true!

Anxiety said:

How strange , 'meerkat' is a dutch word

Dewrede said:

what does it mean?

Literally it means 'lakecat'

http://dictionary.referen...q=suricate

Just looked it up , it's a southafrican (so actually dutch) word
(thanks to our colonial past )

"meer" means "eats" or "eater" while "kat" means either "young" or "offspring". So, this animal is fittingly called the "meerkat" ("eater of the young") because it eats its own young in the wild...

Are you trying to jack this thread?

Hate those little fuckers. They are the reason I always try to save any spiders that I find in my house. Anything that helps control the mosquito population is cool with me.

why do you want to rub aftersun into my legs?

AsianBoi777 said:

You get bitten by one of the wrong species of theses bastards and it can be quite deadly or cause you medical complications like Brad Pitt.
