The Bedford Estates, LondonOver in the Foot Safari, the tiny pitter patter of paws has been heard in Desert Springs, where pup has been born to meerkats, Sue and Spence.
Baby meerkat born in the Foot Safari
The meerkat pup was just 25 grams when it was born, a tiny amount when compared to the 900 grams it will weigh when fully grown.
The youngster was first seen venturing out of the burrow at around two weeks old and is getting braver by the day.
Meerkat mobs are led by an alpha female but they are very sociable animals and so meerkat uncles Antman and Wolverine have already been seen spending a lot of time with the new pup.
