Blackpool Zoo has seen the arrival of a host of gorgeous baby animals just in time for Easter.

Six different species have welcomed youngsters including baby meerkats, ring tailed lemurs, tree shrews, a cotton-top tamarin, a colobus monkey and a pileated gibbon.



The adorable meerkat pups were caught on camera exploring their home. In addition to the cuteness overload the zoo has planned lots of exciting activities for the Easter holidays.

Visitors can enjoy hand feeding the giraffes, getting up close and personal with the family of sea lions, flying a barn owl, meeting the residents of the Children's Farm, and egg painting.
