Four baby meerkats have been born at Bristol Zoo Gardens. At less than three weeks old, the tiny meerkats weigh around just 30g at birth and still have their eyes closed. They are being looked after around the clock by the rest of the meerkat group - which includes seven other youngsters born earlier this year.
