      Does anyone know where Hamerton originally got their meerkats from? I'm yet to see any other UK facility or private owner with northern meerkats..

      The Meerkats are descended from 2 pairs imported from a private collection near Johannesburg, along with Hamerton's Southern Aardwolf. The zoo currently has two groups.
      The previous Meerkats at Hamerton were bred to 6 generations from animals received from Ravensden, but all of this line were dispersed when the South African ones arrived.
      (Thanks to A.S. at Hamerton for this information)
