Mother's day is a time to appreciate all mums. Even those, such as Mosi, still finding their feet.
The 2-year-old meerkat is Auckland Zoo's newest mum after giving birth to four bonny kits on March 10.
The quartet - believed to be two males and two females - only emerged from their burrow for the first time a couple of weeks ago and keepers were relieved to find they were in a healthy condition.
Zoo carnivore keeper Liyee Gee said the first-time mum didn't seem to be spending much time with her babies.
"She just fends for herself. Her mother was terrible as well."
