Adorable meerkat pups take first steps out of their nest at Australian zoo

And yes – they’re ridiculously cute. The two pups were born to first-time parents Nairobi and Maputo on January 7.

But they’ve only just begun venturing out of their nest box to explore their habitat.

Their first adventures have made for some great pictures.

This one seems like a little poser already…

By the look of things, they’re not afraid of getting stuck in as they explore their surroundings.

“Ooooh, trying to squeeze through here looks like fun!”

Oh, and they’ve been curious about what’s outside their enclosures too.

It’s all just a bit too cute.//
