Mundomar the exotic and marine animal park inBenidorm is celebrating the birth of a little Meerkat pup, the first one to be born at the park and mother and pup are both doing well. 

Staff were originally unaware of the birth until a couple of days later, as mothers and newborns always stay in their burrows.

The pups are born underground, then open their eyes between 10 – 14 days and do not come above ground until they are at least 21 days old.

Meerkats were introduced into the park in 2010 and these charming, sociable mammals  have proved very popular with guests.  These little mammals made famous in the TV ads for a well known price comparison web site, are sociable and naturally curious, living in colonies of between 20 – 30 members.  They live in large underground burrow networks with multiple entrances which they leave only during the day.
