Jon's Random Acts of Geekery. Strange Maps. Comics, Quizzes, and Stories. ZooBorns. Last April, Five Sisters Zoo in Scotland was damaged by a terrible fire that not only destroyed their tropical house and 48 different species of small mammals and reptiles, but also the indoor meerkat house, killing 11 members of their meerkat family. At the beginning of November, keepers saw two meerkat kits emerge from the burrow – a true sign that the remaining meerkat pair had fully recovered from their trauma.

November in Scotland was not an ideal time to have young, but they are such resilient creatures that the babies have thrived ever since. Two weeks ago, two more kits emerged from the burrow, much to the delight of all the staff at the zoo!
