Four new arrivals at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park have won a Gold medal in the animal Olympic’s highly contested cute category.

The four meerkat kittens were born this summer and are already proving popular with the public, who can watch their sporting antics.

Visitors can come face to face with the park’s meerkat mob and follow self guided trails to meet other athletic animals as part of the Port Lympne's monthly Animal Antics theme.
