Meerkats

This adorable meerkat sure is tired! But it seems that it's imperative that it stays awake. As hard as it tries to stay awake, and boy does it try, in the end, sometimes, you just got to accept it. 

This meerkat lost its battle to stay awake and we're totally feeling it. If this isn't a mood, we don't know what it, honestly. If you can manage to make it through this cute video without feeling a wave of the zzz's coming on, kudos to you. We, on the other hand, haven't been so lucky. 

Perhaps it is time for a wee little nap? 

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＾）
