Meerkat exhibit opens at Australia Zoo

Ten cheeky female meerkats and their carefully designed new home are long-awaited additions to Australia Zoo’s African section, situated at the eastern end of the savannah where our large giraffe herd, zebras and rhinos roam together.
The new exhibit itself is a carefully constructed meerkat heaven, replicating the sandy desert plains where they live in the wild. Meerkats are extremely busy and inquisitive animals. They’re ultra-alert, love to dig and are constantly re-arranging the objects in their home, much to their keeper’s interest and surprise each day.
The new meerkat section of the Zoo has been fittingly sponsored by Australia’s most recognisable brand for meerkats, Comparethemarket.com.au (*squeak*, Simples!) and as part of the partnership will be helping the Australia Zoo crew name four of the new pint-sized new additions in an exciting competition via their website. www.comparethe...
