Auckland Zoo has welcomed its first meerkat litter in more than a decade.

Four pups were born in-habitat last month, bringing the zoo's meerkat collection to seven.

Their mother is Adia, who arrived at the zoo in November.

Did they really have a meercat enclosure with just two meercats, until Adia arrived in November to make it three plus these 4 babies to make the current total of 7?

I would have expected meercats to very very social and two to not be enough.
