WATCH: Tumi the meerkat warms hearts on the internet by snuggling fan heater: 'kry jy koud'?
POV: It’s winter in Mzansi and you’re one meerkat away from living inside your heater...
CapeTalk's Clarence Ford speaks to Barbara Friedman, about trending online stories.
Listen below:
A video of a pet meerkat warming up in front of a fan heater is perfectly capturing how most of us feel during winter in Mzansi.
In the clip, the adorable meerkat named Tumi is seen clinging to a fan heater, enjoying the warmth.
You can hear the pet’s owner affectionately ask in Afrikaans: “Tumi, kry jy koud?” (Tumi, are you cold?). To which Tumi’s snuggly pose says it all.
As the owner continues chatting, asking “Is dit lekker?” (Is it nice?), Tumi eventually scampers off… but not before melting hearts across the internet.
Honestly, we get it. Who wouldn’t want to climb into the heater like Tumi? #Relatable.
