Zoo Miami welcomes two meerkat pups born Jan. 18 and being raised by their mother, an 8-year-old named Yam Yam. The pups opened their eyes last week and have been exploring their habitat.
The cubs will spend their first few months in a nest box with their mother nearby.MIAMI -- Zoo Miami is welcoming two meerkat pups born Jan. 18 and being raised by their mother, an 8-year-old named Yam Yam.
Meerkats are born blind and helpless, but zoo staff kept a hands-off approach to allow them to bond with their mother and three unrelated brothers — Gizmo, Joe and Diego — who share the habitat, Magill said. In this Feb. 3, 2020 photo made available by Zoo Miami, "Yam Yam", huddles with her two pups in a meerkat habitat at the zoo in Miami. The two pups were born on Jan. 18, a first for the zoo. Meerkats are omnivore animals in the mongoose family. They are found in desert and arid environments in Southern Africa. Yam Yam arrived at the zoo from Busch Gardens in 2012 and the brothers came to Miami from Brevard Zoo in 2018.
