At the end of last season's Meerkat Manor, the Whiskers were facing a long, harsh winter. Mozart's pups had been killed by the Commandos, an enemy meerkat tribe that forced the Whiskers to abandon their home and admit defeat.

Now, in the third season of Meerkat Manor, the Whiskers stake new territory and are ready to start anew. Led by the dominant female Flower, the Whiskers face new rivalry in the form of the Zappa tribe — another meerkat mob best characterized as the neighbors from hell. No stranger to a good challenge, the Whiskers are ready to stand their ground.

Beginning Friday, August 10, at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT, new drama unfolds in the Whiskers household, and life in the Kalahari takes a series of twists and turns. Viewers must be prepared to say farewell, as not all of the meerkats survive life on the manor.

As new rivalries ensue and new mobs form, which meerkats come on top and which fall by the wayside? Find out this season on Meerkat Manor!

New episodes of Meerkat Manor premiere Fridays at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT starting Aug. 10, 2007.
