Meerkat pups Nairobi (top) and Zanzibar (below), four weeks old and the first to be born at Sydneys Taronga Zoo in nine years, are shown for the first time on February 20, 2009. Meerkats are native to southern Africa and the Kalahari Desert and have dark patches around their eyes to lessen the desert glare like sunglasses as well as ears that can close in the event of a sand storm.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, we are introduced to two adorable meerkat pups named Nairobi and Zanzibar. Born at Sydney's Taronga Zoo after a nine-year hiatus, these four-week-old cuties make their debut on February 20,2009. Native to the southern regions of Africa and the Kalahari Desert, meerkats have evolved unique adaptations for survival in their harsh environment. With dark patches encircling their eyes like natural sunglasses, they cleverly reduce the desert glare. Additionally, their ears possess an extraordinary ability to close shut during sandstorms—a remarkable defense mechanism against nature's fury. Captured by Greg Wood from Agence France-Presse (AFP), this horizontal photograph showcases the offbeat charm of these baby animals. Their innocent expressions and tiny frames melt our hearts instantly as we witness new life unfolding within the confines of a zoo. This image serves as a reminder of both the beauty and fragility of wildlife around us. It highlights not only the joyous occasion of animal birth but also emphasizes our responsibility towards conservation efforts that ensure future generations can continue to marvel at such precious creatures
