Young Meerkats, Pueblo Zoo - Who can resist young meerkats, playing and sleeping together? Sheila and I decided to celebrate Valentine's Day at the Pueblo Zoo. While I wouldn't consider this one of the top zoos in Colorado, they do have a good variety of animals and appear to be fixing the place up gradually. The zoo was established in the 1920s and most of the buildings were constructed during the WPA in the 1930s. Many of the outdoor exhibits were shut down for the winter, but are supposed to reopen in mid-March.
