Meerkat goes online looking for love

Small? Furry? Looking for love? The owners of a lonely meerkat hope to find the perfect partner on the internet.

Lilly, a single lady meerkat living at a theme park in Leicestershire, began to pine after an arranged marriage fell through. In desperation her owners decided to build a dating website for meerkats in the hope of finding her true love.



Modelling the site on matchmaking sites for humans, Lilly’s profile describes her as an “alert, dark-eyed, inquisitive, free-spirited lady with a good sense of humour who enjoys fine dining, digging and cosy nights in”.

Since the site went live, Lilly has been inundated with messages from well-wishers, though so far no proposals, indecent or otherwise.
