Unleash Your Inner Animal Lover: Hand-Feed Meerkats for an Hour!
Find out more about the animals included on this experience!
Meerkats are small, highly social mammals native to the deserts and savannas of southern Africa. Recognizable by their upright posture, big eyes, and playful expressions, they are curious, alert, and always on the lookout.
These omnivores feed on insects, small reptiles, fruits, and plants, using their sharp claws and keen senses to dig and forage for food. Meerkats live in tight-knit groups called mobs, where they work together to keep an eye out for predators and share food.
At Hoo Zoo, our Meerkat helps visitors learn about the fascinating social behaviours of small mammals, the importance of teamwork, and how desert ecosystems function. Observing these lively, energetic animals up close gives visitors a chance to appreciate their curiosity, intelligence, and essential role in maintaining a balanced ecosystem.
