A group of meerkats –
otherwise known as a mob – seemingly decided they’d had enough of being cooped
up at the zoo and ran off to treat themselves to a fun day out at the beach.
The curious little creatures
broke out of Sealife Adventure in Essex yesterday (July 12) and quickly
scattered themselves among tourists, possibly in an attempt to blend in with
the crowds, or maybe to seek out some new Compare The Market customers.
It all seems very Madagascar,
if you ask me. I think these meerkats would fit in well alongside King Julien
and his army of lemurs. Judging by the way they scurried along the sea front
it’s clear the little creatures liked to move it move it. Sorry.
It was later revealed the
meerkats had escaped after someone broke into their enclosure and wrecked their
home. The criminal’s thoughtless act put the animals at risk but thankfully
Sealife Adventure said they’d all made it back safe and sound.
The meerkats scampered
through the popular seaside resort in Essex and were later seen roaming a
miniature golf course.
Local police did their best
to herd the escapees together but the little animals were apparently determined
to make the most of their freedom as they evaded the authorities and continued
to make a run for it.

Footage of the meerkats was
shared on Twitter but Niall Moran, who pointed out one hilarious moment which
saw a meerkat standing on its hind legs, face to face with an amused human.
