When we think of adorable animals, our minds often go to kittens and puppies. But let’s not forget about the captivating world of wild animals. Meerkats are a prime example of these charming creatures that can capture our attention and keep us smiling. And for one lucky electrician, he got to experience their company firsthand.

Recently, this electrician was hired to do some work at a local zoo, specifically at the meerkat enclosure. As he went about his electrical tasks, the meerkats became his curious and playful companions.

As the electrician worked, the meerkats couldn’t resist coming over to see what was happening. In between fixing rides and dealing with electrical issues, this animal-loving electrician got a special opportunity to work in the heart of the animal enclosures.

The man couldn’t help but snap a few pictures and share them with his daughter, Lucy. The meerkats showed their curious nature by investigating his open tool bag, with one even hopping inside. They also took an interest in his screwdriver and portable light.

Lucy explains that meerkats are naturally inquisitive creatures, so it was no surprise that they approached the electrician. In one adorable picture, a meerkat even perched on his shoulder while he bent down to pick something up. Lucy decided not to share that particular photo, wanting to protect her father’s dignity.

Sometimes, you never know what a workday will bring. But we can all agree that having a day filled with playful meerkats would be a delightful treat.
