Five-week old youngsters leave the nest
The Curraghs Wildlife Park in Ballaugh is now home to three new meerkats.
The pups are the latest arrivals at the park this year following the births of a baby gentle lemur and penguin chick.
The animals were born five weeks ago at the park, but have only just started to venture out of the nest.
General Manager Kathleen Graham says they'll only stay the size they are for a short period of time:
Carers: 'They are often the quiet heroes of our Island'
Hooper: 'Time to bite the bullet and build new hospital'
'No final decisions' made yet about relocating dementia patients says Manx Care
'We want to provide a facility for almost anybody'
