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.

These cute little critters are true team players. They live in groups of 20-30, and a few usually serve as lookouts, gazing at the sky for hawks, eagles, and other birds of prey that can snatch them from the ground. They use a sharp, shrill call to alert the group to take cover if danger arises.
