A pair of curious meerkat pups have made their first appearance at Chester Zoo after six weeks underground.
The duo were born on May 28 after an 11-week gestation and were kept tucked away in a burrow by their mother and father for more than a month.
Now getting used to the outdoors, the pups will be taught how to forage for food by the rest of the meerkat group.
