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.



While a couple of guards watch over the group, the rest typically keep themselves busy foraging for food. Meerkats aren't picky eaters. They are good hunters and can devour insects, lizards, birds, and fruit. When hunting, they work together and coordinate their actions with purring sounds. The zoo also shared a few snaps taken on their live-stream cameras. More info: zoomiami.org
