Two baby meerkats are going viral on Facebook after a video of the young animals paling around with a toy was uploaded to the social network by the Riverview Park & Zoo in Peterborough, about 90 minutes north of Toronto in Ontario, Canada. The footage appears to have been shot from the so-called “Meerkat Romper Room” at the animal health center. The zoo also posted equally precious photos of the creatures playing in cardboard boxes.

The duo aren’t the only meerkats to make headlines on the web this month. Baby meerkats born last month made their public debut at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, while a gang was spotted “playing” Jenga at the Symbio Wildlife Park in New South Wales.
