It might look like a scene from Godzilla, but don’t panic - ZSL London Zoo isn’t breeding giant meerkats.

Three-month old baby meerkat, Roo, was simply getting ready for a unique weekend at the zoo.

London’s chattiest inhabitants - black cab drivers - were offered the chance to navigate their way around ZSL London Zoo for free.

The capital’s renowned motor-mouths were invited to come along to the zoo with their families between the 5th and 8th of June, and got free access for the whole family on presentation of their license, to celebrate their important role in the London tourist trade.

Roo the Meerkat was given the chance to investigate a perfect replica of one of London’s famous black cabs.
