Parkdean: See the Exmoor Zoo survivor

Simples the meerkat was rescued by staff at Exmoor Zoo

Caravanners staying at Parkdean‘s Ruda Holiday Park in Devon have been encouraged to visit Exmoor Zoo, where a tiny critter has shown it has a big heart.

Simples the meerkat was abandoned by her mother and found with her two siblings by staff at the attraction.

She was named after the character from the comparethemarket.com adverts.

Weighing just 18g when she was born, Simples survived thanks to the care she received from employees at the zoo.

While her litter mates sadly passed away, the young meerkat showed her strength of will by fighting for her life.

She now enjoys a diet of chicken, fruit, insects and scrambled eggs and has a healthy appetite.

Holidaymakers staying at Ruda Holiday Park can visit her and the other animals by jumping in the car and making the 14-mile drive to the popular site.

Meanwhile, Parkdean recently suggested that Brits take advantage of the hot summer weather by enjoying a caravan trip this year.
