Animals at Wellington Zoo struggling with lack of human visitors amid coronavirus lockdown

The meerkats at Wellington Zoo are keeping busy in their ball pit as they have no visitors to keep them entertained. 

Zoo keepers say the animals have become more interested in getting human attention. Which could mean the tigers, lions and bears might have noticed that people aren't coming to visit.

Staff have stepped up the stimulation to keep animals entertained by taking the dingos Blue and Kiah to visit the animals each morning while on their work. 

Watch the above video to see how the animals are keeping entertained during isolation.
