Agree @alp........must feel very strange and uncomfortable for them too. I'm really surprised that in this age of such advanced hi- tech that is constantly being developed that they can't devise something a lot smaller and less cumbersome looking!!
Yes, that's it. Too cumbersome and deformed the animals.. You've articulated my thought. So alien and unkind to see such a big contraption hiding part of the meerkat's neck. I nearly wanted to cry seeing that. NOSY humans, can't they stop trying to see everything. I wish they could put up a sign
DO NOT DISTURB!
