MEERKATS AT LONDON ZOO INTERACTING WITH CHRISTMAS-THEMED BOX
Meerkats at ZSL London Zoo started their preparations for Christmas on Monday (November 30) as the zoo prepares to reopen its doors after England's coronavirus lockdown ends.
A red mailbox containing the meerkats' favourite snack of crickets was installed in their enclosure, allowing them to send off their Christmas wishes to Santa.
Top of their wish lists will be a healthy flurry of visitors after a month-long closure in line with government measures to stem COVID-19 infections.
The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) charity, which runs the zoo, has been calling for the public to book tickets ahead of its reopening on Wednesday (December 2).
The zoo has now been closed for a total of 15 weeks in 2020 and ZSL says ticket sales are vital to continue supporting the expert care of its 20,000 animals.
