Patagonian Mara

Tangen Dyrepark har hatt surikater i mange år, og de har vært en stor glede for både oss og våre besøkende.
Ved en rutinemessig helseundersøkelse oppdaget vi dessverre at dyrene hadde fått aldersrelaterte helseplager. Etter nøye vurdering, og med hensyn til dyrenes velferd, tok vi den tunge beslutningen om å la dem få avslutte livet på en verdig måte.

Akkurat nå står innhegningen tom. Vi forstår at dette kan være skuffende, og vi beklager det.
Vi jobber med å finne nye surikater som kan flytte til Tangen Dyrepark og få et trygt, godt og aktivt liv her hos oss. Prosessen er lang, og det kan dessverre ta tid før vi kan ønske nye surikater velkommen – men vi lover å dele gode nyheter så snart vi kan.

Takk for forståelsen – og for at du bryr deg om dyrene.

Did you know?

 

1. Meerkats are found in the deserts of southern Africa. They live in groups and they dig tunnels underground. In the group, they have different tasks. They look after offspring, look for food and keep watch. There is always someone watching for danger and predators. 

2. They mostly eat insects, rodents, fruits, eggs, birds, lizards, snakes and scorpions. They attack the venomous sting of a scorpion first, so that it cannot sting them. A scorpion may have venom on its exoskeleton, and meerkats rub the scorpion in sand to remove the venom so the scorpion can be eaten. Meerkats are also immune to some types of snake venom. 

3. Around the eyes, meerkats have dark circles. They act as sunglasses and help the meerkats to look in bright sunlight. 

 

Tangen Dyrepark has 4 meerkats.
