00:01I'm in South Africa, sitting beside a colony of meerkats,
00:07waiting for this year's youngsters to emerge and start exploring their world.
00:17Here they come. That's the adult.
00:23They must check the coast is clear.
00:30Ah, there's another one.
00:37Ah, there's a baby.
00:52Hello, little one.
00:57We can't know what the future is going to hold for this little creature.
01:02Just as every one of our histories is unique to ourselves,
01:06so this animal, too, will have its own story.
01:23If one of these little creatures, indeed if any animal, is to become one of life's winners by leaving behind
01:30offspring,
01:31then a long and difficult journey lies ahead.
01:37This is the story of life.
01:40And for these little creatures, it's just beginning.
01:50Good luck to you.
01:53It's just a beautiful thing.
01:54I know, I know.
01:56There's a lot of people out there.
01:56I know, if it's a stormy race, it's a stormy race.
01:56Because of the hurricane, I know it's kind of a stormy race.
01:57I know it.
