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.
Jude Rothwell, Marketing and PR Co-ordinator at Blackpool Zoo, said: "We're absolutely thrilled about our new additions here at Blackpool Zoo. With so much happening already, their arrival means this Easter will be even more spectacular.
"Each year we try and make everyone's visit to Blackpool Zoo as exciting as possible, and this year is no exception.
"Our animal experiences are growing in popular every year and seeing the faces of the children, and adults, that have just hand fed a giraffe or met a sea lion is priceless! We look forward to welcoming everyone to Blackpool Zoo this Easter and starting the season as we mean to go on."
