Auckland Zoo meerkat pups first litter in over a decade
Four pups have been born at Auckland Zoo and it's their first meerkat litter in more than a decade. The tiny quadruplets have brought the Meerkat mob numbers to seven. Adia, a first time mum is doing well and the pups, now about two and half weeks old are starting to explore and enjoy snacks other than mum's milk. Auckland Zoo's team leader Nick Parashchak spoke to Lisa Owen.
