Earlier this week, the meerkat pups visited the outside portion of their habitat for the first time at the Reid Park Zoo.
According to the zoo, meerkat pups are born with their eyes closed and very little hair. They also spend the first several weeks of their life sticking close to their mom and dad.
"The new parents and the pups are spending some of their time in the behind-the-scenes portion of their habitat while the pups are still in the earlier stages of their development,” said Sue Tygielski, director of zoo operations, in a news release. “The family is visible to guests periodically when the pups are exploring but often prefer to sleep behind the scenes still."
