Two meerkat pups have started to come out of their burrows at the Brevard Zoo. 

They were born to mother Kiki on Feb. 17 and spent the first few weeks of life underground. 

Meerkats are highly social animals and are native to the deserts of southern Africa. 

The zoo said some members of the mob may act as "babysitters" to the pups. 

Their sexes are unknown at this time.
