A pair of dwarf mongooses take tiny steps and begin exploring their enclosure at Chester Zoo. The little youngsters were spotted by keepers enjoying their first adventure. The duo, who were born on 8th September, spent a month in their nest box with keepers just hearing occasional squeaks. Dave White, team manager at Chester Zoo, says: “Now that our new duo has started exploring they’re going to keep mum, dad and the rest of the dwarf mongoose group very much on their tiny toes.
