![World Meerkat Day at Taronga Zoo Sydney!
It’s World Meerkat Day!
To celebrate we have given Taronga’s mischievous meerkats some sandcastle enrichment, letting them use their sharp claws to dig for the peanuts inside! [peanuts emoji]
Listen to carnivore keeper Ellen talk about why enrichment is so important for the meerkats at Taronga and why these little critters are her favourite animals (but [sshh] don’t tell the lions)!
And if that weren’t enough, we’re also LIVE with a brand new live meerkat cam as part of Taronga TV! You can tune in to watch all kinds of animal antics from our much-loved mob of mischief makers!
