This unique habitat is home to the fascinating Meerkat. A subterranean animal management area allows keepers to safely transfer the animals from holding the habitat. Themed concrete mimics the arid habitat these animals live in, and a network of tunnels and termite mounds provide enrichment for the animals.
A unique feature of this exhibit is the borrowed view to the adjacent zebra habitat. Visitors view through a glass panel, and children can experience a close-up view through an acrylic dome that protrudes into the habitat.
