The zoo hosted a livestream feeding time for their meerkat family on their Facebook page at 1.30pm on Friday.

"They're always entertaining but today we're going to throw in a few special treats for them, and they'll love it," zookeeper Daisy Murphy said.

"Meerkats love food at the best of times, but give them some treats and you can't go wrong.

"The meerkats are Chelsea's babies - she's one of the other zookeepers - so she'll doing the feeding and I'll be on video."

With the zoo in lockdown staff have taken the opportunity to post regular video updates.

"We had some cool video of brolgas calling the other day, and we've got a couple more keeper talks coming up soon."
