Having a pig as a pet
Not weird at all.
Meerkats at ZSL London zoo have posted their Christmas wishlist to Santa after they were gifted a miniature mailbox with their favourite crickets inside. The charity zoo is preparing to reopen this Wednesday (2 Dec). Zookeeper Luke Taylor said: “all the meerkats want for Christmas is for people to visit the zoo this December, because booking a ticket will support the expert care of our 20,000 animals during this difficult time."
Pet adoptions and sales have soared in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A giraffe calf has been named after the first person to have the Covid-19 vaccination. UK's ZSL WHIPSNADE ZOO welcomed the six-foot-tall arrival this week. The female calf was born at the same time as 90-year-old Margaret Keenan received the first vaccine. In recognition of the poignant moment, the infant has been named Margaret, following a 15-month gestation period, Margaret is the second calf to be born to mum Luna.
