Taronga Zoological Park in Sydney, Australia, just welcomed two meerkat babies into their zoo. The little meerkats are so small that both of them fit in their keeper's hands at once. They were born on Jan. 7, weighing only a few grams at the time, and now they weigh 120 grams. While that's only 0.2 lbs, it shows that they're developing quickly and healthily, reported The Telegraph.
The zoo isn't sure of the genders of the meerkats yet, but they've got a hunch. "They may be young, but they're already showing signs of their own little personalities. Our male is the bigger of the two and he's more adventurous and inquisitive, while the female is quieter and prefers to stay close to mum," said Courtney Mahoney, the newborn meerkats' keeper, according to the Taronga Zoo's website. "They were initially a little wary of this big new world outside, but with a bit of encouragement from mum and dad they started to explore."
Take a look at these tiny, adorable creatures!
