Animal Planet Animal Habitat Meerkat Playset Review

If your kids are interested in animals and wildlife, the Animal Planet Animal Habitat Meerkat Playset will surely interest them. Moreso if they watch the show "Meerkat Manor" on Animal Planet. For those who do not now (like myself before I saw this play set), meerkats are animals that are found in South Africa and Bostwana. Their scientific name is Suricata suricatta, and they are relatives of the mongoose. The meerkat is characterized by its narrow, pointed muzzle and dark rings around its eyes. It is as small as a squirrel and also possesses the same striped features as well as fur. The meerkat's fur however, ranges from orange to brown.

My son just saw an episode of Meerkat Manor and was really forcing me to get the Animal Planet Animal Habitat Meerkat Playset when we were at the local Toys 'R Us. I thought this was really great, because for once, his interest was not held captive by spaceships or guns. Finally, something wholesome and interesting that would actually expand his knowledge and pique his curiousity with things related to nature. The Animal Planet Animal Habitat Meerkat Playset features five meerkat replicas, as well as a burrow for dwelling with an actual working door and a pop-up button. My son absolutely loves playing with the meerkats and researching on their habitat, activities, as well as their feeding habits. The Animal Planet Animal Habitat Meerkat Playset really opened up his eyes into a whole new world, and I am thankful for the Animal Planet Animal Habitat Meerkat Playset for opening that door to him.

The Animal Planet Animal Habitat Meerkat Playset also comes with a human action figure, decked out in photographer's attire. It also comes with two camera figures and a tripod, so that they human action figure can be portrayed as one capturing the meerkats in their natural habitat. My son often pretends that he is a director and camera man of the Meerkat Manor show, and lets the meerkats position themselves into various positions and scenarios. The Animal Planet Animal Habitat Meerkat Playset is well crafter and true to the real (or should I say, television) versions of these animals. The photographer and cameras with tripod are also a great addition to this play set. If you are looking for a gift for your nephews or for any young boy for that matter, I think that the Animal Planet Animal Habitat Meerkat Playset would be a great set to give. It is really educational, wholesome and affordable too. The Animal Planet Animal Habitat Meerkat Playset is really awesome and I highly recommend it to kids aged six and above, as it may be too complex or boring for younger kids
