This a historic moment for Zoo Miami, it's the very first time meerkats have been born at their zoo -- and being raised successfully!

Congratulations Yam Yam and to Zoo Miami!

The Cake Smash Idea came from the Zoo Keepers at the Symbio Wildlife Park, Sydney Australia who wanted to do something completely unique for both fun and enrichment. The cake was made of layered watermelon, and garnished with Zucchini Blossoms, Baby Carrots, and a sprinkling of broccoli with decoration on top. So Cute!
What a great idea! 200 trees were donated this year as part of an enrichment programme at Colchester Zoo for many zoo animals including elephants, meerkats, and chimpanzees. Food is also hidden in the trees to encourage foraging and play amongst the animals
The Symbio Wildlife Park Zoo in Helensburgh, New South Wales, Australia shared this ridiculously cute footage of their five one-month old baby meerkats venturing out of their next box to explore their outside habitat.
The Symbio Wildlife Park Zoo in Sydney, Australia shared this ridiculously cute video of four tiny meerkat babies learning to walk and stand for the first time.
The adorable meerkat pups are the first to be born at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia in seven years. Born just over a month ago on January 7th, the unnamed pups' first outing was to practice their sentry dusting skills. (＾o＾）
