If you need cheering up this autumnal Monday, how do some adorable baby animals sound?
Two baby meerkats are the latest arrivals at Woburn Safari Park, in Bedfordshire.
The venue’s slender-tailed meerkat mob (yes, that really is the name for a group of meerkats) welcomed two new additions last month – born to proud parents Pansy and Brendan.
Some photos of the babies have been released and it’s safe to say they are swoon-worthy.
The new pups, born just weeks ago and weighing a mere 30g each, have already made a big impression on visitors at the park.
They join their older Harry Potter-themed siblings Albus, Ariana, Aberforth and Argus (born in February) and Bellatrix and Barty (born in May) in the Desert Springs enclosure.
So we have every reason to assume these two will get Potter-inspired names soon, too.
These new pups are part of the third litter born to parents Brendan and Patsy this year and will start to venture out of their den in the coming weeks, as they grow in confidence.
Snaps of the baby animals show them getting familiar with their new home.
Visitors can go and see the meerkat family in action at the Safari Park, which features a drive-through area and a walking trail.
But, for now, you can enjoy more pictures of the sweet creatures below…
