Miami Zoo Shares Meerkat Baby Photos And It's Enough To Cheer Up Your Day

Zoo Miami is the oldest and largest zoo in Florida and the fifth-largest in the United States. But despite the fact that it opened 72 years ago, the facility has never had meerkats born within its walls. Until recently.

Squirrel-sized meerkats are mongooses, widely known for their upright posture. They often stand on their rear legs, scanning the areas over the southern African plains where they live. In fact, mom meerkats can even nurse their babies while standing.
