A mob of Slender-tailed meerkat following their keeper like she was the Pied Piper of Hamelin. They had a decent sized group of at least fifteen meerkats - including several pups and juveniles. It’s nice to see them breeding successfully (and regularly), given the success of breeding them at New Zealand’s other zoos has been more sporadic.
 
@Tafin Yes they've bred them. A female pup born at Orana in 1998 was sent to Auckland Zoo in 1999; and there's been others since then.
