Snakes sometimes don't release venom.
Ernesto is related to wolverine
That uncle that’s always meditating
Ernesto lives!!!
All them little shits could have brought poor Ernesto some grub while he was sick, but no….
Ernesto is the Chuck norris of meerkats !!! 😂😂
So, meerkat isnt 100% immune to snake venom?
The ancient fold gergely stain because pancake apparently camp times a righteous stopwatch. living, squalid halibut
The title of this video is spoiler a little.
Hakuna Matata
The spirit is larger than the challenge. Much respect for Ernesto.
I saw another meerkat program where the matriarch named Flower died after she was bit by a snake.
i want to see them have a war
Beautiful video
mongoose/meercat are technically immune to snake bites, that's y they like to feast on snakes..even mambas
Nice
Is that Richard Hammond?
From Grand Tour?
Isn't that video camera a bit too big for that job?
पागल हहहह
The revenant
The way they bark, they could be called "Meerdogs!"
Swift: How did you survive?
Ernesto's dream:
– Mongoose Jesus: Oh poor child…
– Ernesto: Wha? Who are you?
– MJ: I witness thy are suffering, allow me to share my strength with thy.
Ernesto: Oh I just slept it off
Why didn't he help the animal instead of filming??????
Haaammond!!!
U idiot!!
Ernesto survives!
The voice over feels like its Hammond from the top gear.
He is a survivor
I would suck at this job! I can't sit back and watch!!!!!! I have to save them all. All Animals! Plus I would cry alot 😢
imagine a game of survival and you need to survive in a place as big as the earth that would be an amazing game
When I face tough moments in my life ,, i allway think of my friend ernesto ,, at the end I'll beat all those tough barriers,,
Ernesto is my hero.
That dope is fire 🔥 😜🤫. .
.Ernesto is a beast 💪
Sakt launda😎😁
Awwww this poor little guy, makes me feel so bad and sad for poor Ernesto. Makes me wanna kill the snake and leave it for Ernesto and his family. OMG 😭😭😭😭😭 this is so sad, he’s been left all alone to die alone. Poor little fella
Evidently slept it off ? 🤔
Just amazing that Ernesto is alive. And that snake had enough venom to kill 10 growing men and in 2 days up and back with the family! Incredible!
I suppose the camera man is following the Prime Directive. 😔
"What you meen am a 'mere' cat? That's so offensive!
'Sides, can a cat survive a snake bit that can kill ten men?
GTFOH! Mere cat my azz."
I feel like Richard Hammond is talking lol
the funny thing about this is that meerkats are members of the mongoose family and are immune to most snake venoms they get sicks for a while which can be dangerous but its very rarly the venom that actually kills them which i find amussing cause we humans think were big and bad ass but one bite from these snakes and your ass is pushing up daisys same snake bites a tiny little meerkat it will probably end up as dinner and the bitten meerkat takes a two day bender on snake venom
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😳
The film crew should get the meerkats some food once in a while since there's so little of it in the desert.
Camera man filming a camera man, filming, is like watching The Human Camerapede.
Hammmond!
I like meerkats
Great
Omg my teacher showed us this like 4 years ago and I'm just finding out he survived the bite😭
l love it
Whenever I feel less motivated & down I always come to this video for inspiration … The sheer amount of pain Ernesto Meerkat goes through just to survive … Simply incredible
❤️❤️❤️
I'm a little confused here. Is everyone called "swift"?
Erneston was last seen in February 2013 and presumed dead.
Thank You, Lord!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕
Imagine being a foot tall in that place. With literal monsters out there who can swoop down and take you away. Or surprise you and viciously bite and try to kill you. And oh yeah, take care of those kids too right? Deep respect for the meerkats. Amazing animals.
Poor uncle Ernesto
Oh, he survived. Sweeeeeeet
anesto, stay strong <3
I would have to intervene, couldnt stand to watch a animal in distress, I dont know how you can just watch a beautiful creature in pain.I would not be hired!!
😭😭😭😭😭
Please help him!
That's why I can't be a nature photographer, there's 0 chance of me standing and observing how this guy suffers.
Ernesto died two days later
Aren’t they actual immune to snake venom
A like for cameraman
Never fails to amaze me how tough and resilient animals can be. Especially the little ones.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Do you think Ernesto knows his name is Ernesto?
I couldn't do this job, I'm a Biologist too (a lab one to be fair) and I wouldn't hesitate to get that meerkat and bringing it to a vet.
He is back from the dead
He is the choosen one..
All knee down before Ernesto!
I hate to see any living creature suffer….
I know it's life but life but life is cruel !!
Ernesto recovered with out a vaccine… wake up people your body is fukin amazing as well
I'll never forget when Flower got bit & died. None of us watching Meerkat Manor were prepared for that. I cried.
Would be nicer if you guys fed them and gave them water instead of watching they struggling to find Food and water. Humans are selfish
The crew could have helped little Ernesto right?. I mean BBC is getting money from these docuseries, I know you should not interfere with nature but its called compassion
I'm from Africa and grew up with meerkat all my life. They are such beautiful creatures.
Good job Ernesto!
Great story, why did you ruin it by focusing on the camera man…Oh, I see, THAT is the story's hero. Nah
😱😭
ERNESTO IS THE DEFINITION OF A WARRIOR !
My boy Ernesto out here showing real niggahs don’t die
bbc should stick to animals instead of politics
Ernesto took one for the team…job well done
By a cobra not easy to survive from a bite
Flower also got bitten by a snake but sadly she did not recover. She was an amazing leader 💜
Richard Hammond?
He's a tough, resilient little guy! 😳
Is this Meerkat Manor? I remember Shakespeare died in ep.3. Many angry moms calling to cancel the show because their kids were traumatized LMAO.
Shakespeare was a STUD. RIP young king.
What a beautiful creature.
So nice of the BBC to secure the services of a hamster to narrate.
The BBC should just stick to this kind of content, which they're brilliant at, and stop the political propaganda.
Didn't know Richard Hammond narrated some episodes of Planet Earth. Nice.
It's so much better to film suffering than help. More money.
As we know, Ernesto went on to have a great career making slightly feeble kitchen gadgets for Lidl.
Is this not Brave little Shakespeare? And Flower, with the radio collar?
What? They're mortal to cobra venom 😱 . Did we human studying this and make anti cobra venom? If yes I'm very happy, if not 😢
Meerkats are my favorite animals
Poor little guy looks terrible. I hope he got much better than that.
Why did the cameraman not try to help? That's cruel to just keep filming while it suffers and dies.
Let's gooooo Ernesto!!! My man!
I love how much love, time and effort are put into these. How does he remember all their names 🤔. L9vely
Variables…
* natural immunity.
* built up immunity.
* type of snake (venom)
* amount of venom.
* health/constitution of meerkat.
Watching this video at your low moments shows you that if God helped poor Ernesto, He will absolutely help you.
my man Ernesto…… never say die
