Eggstra special: Easter comes early for meerkats

IT MAY not look like a suitable meal for a meerkat - but this painted ostrich eggshell was stuffed with meal worms instead of chocolate.

The early Easter treat was served up at Blair Drummond Safari Park in anticipation of the celebrations to be held at the wildlife park on Easter Sunday and Monday.

Young visitors to the wildlife park will be able to take part in an Easter egg hunt. The entertainment also includes Cheeko the Clown and a bubble-making workshop Pictures: Andrew Milligan/PA Wire
