Indianapolis Zoo names meerkat pups

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Indianapolis’ new meerkat pups officially have names!

The Indianapolis Zoo posted the update Monday morning. The pups are a boy and girl and have been named Cato and Cashmere after characters of “The Hunger Games.” Their mom’s name is Rue.

The pups were born on Oct. 13 and are the first meerkats ever born at the Indianapolis Zoo.

The meerkat mob, or group, has been in a private area while the babies got a little older.
