Fota Wildlife Park is asking the public for help naming the first Meerkat babies the park has welcomed in over a decade.
Biggy was born on St Patrick’s Day in 2021 and was one of three females to come to Fota from DierenPark Amersfoort in the Netherlands last MaySnaggle came from Ardmore Open Farm to Fota Wildlife Park in July 2021 and is almost eight years old.All three females have settled in well with Snaggle to form a new breeding group in the habitat they share with the Colobus monkeys, located just inside the main entrance to the park.“They are so active in their habitat,” she said.
“The babies also have access to an indoor heated house and can sometimes be seen through the viewing windows as they pop in and out of this area of their exhibit,” she said. The Meerkat is a social and curious animal that lives underground in groups called mobs, gangs, or clans.
