The meerkats were born at the West Midland Safari Park on June 12 but only came out in public on July 15. According to the safari website, The kits (or pups as they are sometimes known) are just four weeks old and thought to weigh no more than around 1.4 ounces each. Nicknamed Alec, Sydney and Henrik by staff, they are barely 4 inches tall and are gradually making more appearances with their mother in the new exhibit - Meerkat Mayhem – that is situated in the Park’s new African Village. When Mom decides to wander off for a spot of foraging, Dad helps out and watches the youngsters. See the kits in action by following this link.
