Keepers at ZSL London Zoo have ensured the animals don’t miss out on the Easter fun – by arranging egg hunts for the meerkats and squirrel monkeys.
Painting papier-mâché eggs in eye-catching colours, dedicated keepers - who have continued to work on site throughout lockdowns to care for the Zoo’s animals - hid tasty treats for meerkats Frank, Dracula, Archie, Penelope, Timon, Aurora and Meko to find amongst the sand and rocks in their home, before hanging Easter baskets for the zoo’s mischievous troop of Bolivian black-capped squirrel monkeys to eggsplore.
We’re now looking forward to reopening on Monday 12 April and we can't wait to share our 36-acre wildlife haven with visitors once again!
