Headline: Baby Mongoose Triplets Born At Chester Zoo
Caption: Announced Friday (22 May), tiny dwarf mongoose triplets, born at Chester Zoo, have emerged from their burrows for the very first time. The miniature babies, each currently measuring around just 12cm-long, were spotted by keepers exploring the outside world, with their protective parents Hope and Cooper sticking close by. Conservationists at the zoo reported hearing “tiny squeaks” inside the mongoose burrows several weeks ago but only now has the trio developed the confidence to frequently venture out. The latest arrivals join a mob of seven at the zoo, which has been home to dwarf mongoose for more than 45 years.
