To the Editor:
Re "After a Run of Penguin Chic, It's the Year of the Meerkat" by Charles Lyons [Dec. 17]:
Of the spate of new movies about meerkats, Mark Gill, the former president of
Warner Independent, observes:
"There's a fairly narrow band of audience interest in these animals, meaning there's room for one film but not two."
I don't think so.
I taped my first meerkat show from television in 1988 and have loved them ever since.
A National Geographic poster adorns a wall in my computer room,
and there have been meerkat cams in Britain.
Another case of the audience ahead of the industry?
