Since we've had such lovely weather lately I spent the afternoon at the zoo. I was quite surprised to find that there was an addition, or to be precise three additions to the meerkat family. The dominant male and female are the only two in the colony to breed but the subordinates help to take care and even nurse the newcomers. The babies are beyond cute; they are mini replicas of their parents only a bit fuzzier. I watched them fall over when they fell asleep standing up. I wish I could take one home.
