Okay, two wordy posts need balance. How about some baby meerkats?

The LATimes Unleashed blog had photos of two baby meerkats named Zanzibar and Nairobi, born January 23rd at Sydney's Taronga Zoo:



(there are more photos at their post.)

The Telegraph quotes keeper Bobby-Jo Vial: "They're already eating solid foods and displaying behaviours similar to adults. They're very precocious."

The Sydney Morning Herald story includes this photo from Reuters:



Video from the BBC and NTDTV.

Edit: For some unfathomable reason, the BBC locked their video away, but there's one from the Guardian here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2009/feb/20/baby-meerkats-australia

I would like some pet
meerkats. They could snuggle with
me and bring me tea.
