They take care of the animals living in zoos with expertise. Not only do they try to create their environment in a way that would be natural for them, but they also protect and protect the residents.
Nevertheless, a big problem happened at one of the American zoos. Several meerkats died. Small animals are a real crowd favorite. This makes this senseless destruction all the more bitter.
The cause of their death is still unknown, but the deaths occurred in such rapid succession that poisoning is suspected. They tried gastric lavage to remove the harmful substance from the meerkats' bodies, but 5 animals still died.
A paint is thought to have caused the tragedy, but all this is only speculation until an autopsy confirms this.
