Zoo Miami is the first and biggest in Florida and the fifth largest in the US. But even though it opened its doors 72 years ago, meerkats have never been born in the zoo. But that changed recently.
Eight-year-old meerkat Yam Yam began the year by becoming a new mom. Yam Yam, who arrived at the zoo from Busch Gardens Tampa, delivered two cute babies on January 18.
Yam Yam has a shared living space with three unrelated males: Gizmo, Joe and Diego. One of them is the father and only a DNA test could reveal who the biological father actually is. Nevertheless, they are all raising the babies together.
