Meerkat pups welcomed at safari park
The four pups were born on May 10 to parents Cardi B and Biggie at Blair Drummond Safari Park near Stirling.
It is the third litter for the pair since they joined the park in 2022.
Meerkat pups are born blind, deaf and almost hairless but keepers said that now, aged around one month, the animals have opened their eyes and begun exploring the outside world.
Meerkats are described as incredibly social animals and live in tight-knit groups known as mobs which work together to raise their young.
Carolyn Booth, Pets Farm Team Leader at Blair Drummond, said: 'The pups are just starting to find their feet and show a bit of character – it's a brilliant stage to watch.
'They're getting more confident by the day, and the rest of the mob has really stepped up to help raise them. It's a real family effort.'
The pups have now started nibbling on bits of solid food and spend time following the adults around and practising their digging skills.

Cardi B blasts ex Offset as she reveals petty revenge plot amid Stefon Diggs romance
Cardi B appears to diss her ex Offset on her latest track Outside, with lyrics that allude to her latest romance with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs. The 32-year-old rapper, who shares three children with Offset, 33 — Kulture, six, Wave, three, and Blossom, eight months, raps lyrics on her new track that seemingly allude to her romance with the veteran pass catcher, 31. 'Do you how you do me, bet you we won't speak again,' she rapped in the track. 'Favorite player from your favorite team, he in my DM.' The Girls Like You rapper - who has gone Instagram official in her romance with Diggs, now a member of the New England Patriots - rapped the lyrics 'heard them Patriots got them n*****, let me in the locker room.' Diggs has been a mainstay in the NFL for 10 seasons, playing his first five seasons with the Minnesota Vikings before playing for the Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans in the years since. The release of the track comes less than a year after the Bodak Yellow artist filed for divorce from the Migos rapper. The hip-hop mainstay, whose full name is Belcalis Almánzar, a few weeks back delved into her family's over-the-top finances and made a dig at her estranged husband Offset in a furious social media stream. In it, she said that the rapper has not pitched in a penny for the kids since their split. Cardi B added on X Spaces: 'A whole year straight, you have left me with the kids' bills. Y'all want to know what's the kids' bills? Start adding. 'My kids got their own driver — they pick them up from school, they drop them off and they take them to gymnastics and boxing classes. The kids' driver is on a retainer for $10,000 a month.' Cardi B audited the expensive tuitions she is footing the bill for, claiming Offset didn't help with any of it. 'Kulture's school this year — you didn't pay for it — that's $45,000,' said Cardi B. 'Wave's school a year is $35,000, which you didn't help me pay for it this year at all.' The hip-hop mainstay, whose full name is Belcalis Almánzar, added she pays a relative $3,000 weekly to babysit, and a nanny for their baby Blossom charges a daily fee of $500. Cardi B listed a series of ancillary charges she's eaten in the near-year since their bitter breakup. 'Kulture and Wave get tutoring four times a week. Each hour is $250. Count that up,' she said. 'Kulture's piano class, that's $300 an hour and she gets piano classes three times a week. 'I'm not sure how much is gymnastics and Wave's boxing classes, but I pay that too,' she added. The I Like It performer also was critical of Offset for seeking spousal support in the split, again itemizing expenses she's paid for without his assistance. 'Kiari, have I asked you for anything?' the Bodak Yellow vocalist said. 'You want spousal support so bad. 'And mind you, this is not even including food - my kids have a personal chef that comes from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. that I pay for because people in my house don't have time to cook.' Cardi also said that Offset has 'seen Blossom only like five times' since her birth last fall. She added, 'I been trying to save your face. I said you can see my kids in my house. I want my daughter to feel the love of her dad. He hasn't seen his kids since March.' Cardi B filed for divorce from the musical artist in July of 2024, and petitioned the court for full custody of their three kids. She and Offset initially wed in 2017 and had previously filed for divorce in 2020, but eventually called it off. Diggs earlier this month an image of himself in the uniform of his new team, the New England Patriots, amid speculation at the time his mounting controversies could cause a distraction to the team ahead of training camp, endangering his roster spot.

Cardi B reveals baby daughter Blossom for FIRST time in sweet photos
Cardi B has revealed baby daughter Blossom's face for the first time with an array of sweet Instagram photos on Monday. The Bodak Yellow rapper, 32 - who recently risked a wardrobe malfunction while attending the ASCAP celebration - uploaded snaps of the eight-month-old as well as her other kids Kulture, six and Wave, three. The performer shares her three children with ex Offset - as the pair continue to be embroiled in a bitter divorce battle. In one image, Blossom could be seen flashing a big smile as she stood on her feet while wearing a hot pink onesie and pastel pink socks. A Louis Vuitton scarf was placed on top of her head, and contained both the brand's logo as well as a cherry blossom pattern on the silk material. Small bags were placed nearby with the same style. Another picture was taken as Cardi B held her youngest child in her arms as they both held cheerful grins for the cute moment. Blossom appeared to be a fan of the items and held a mini Louis Vuitton bag in her hand with an excited smile. Her daughter Kulture also paused for a couple of photos as she modeled some purses from the luxurious brand. The eldest daughter of Cardi B and Offset posed outdoors while wearing a scarf from the line and held two bags. Wave also appeared in the star's latest Instagram carousel, including a closeup snap of his face. Another image showed the three-year-old lounging on a couch and looking through a phone. Cardi B showcased an assortment of pieces from the Louis Vuitton x Murakami Collection which is currently available online to consumers. The songstress - whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Cephus - also modeled some items from the collection herself. While wearing a nude bodysuit, the Please Me rapper carried a large purse over her right shoulder and held an umbrella above her. As she crouched down on an outside deck, the music artist held a smile and also sported a pair of open-toed heels. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cardi B (@iamcardib) In one image, Blossom could be seen flashing a big smile as she stood on her feet while wearing a hot pink onesie and pastel pink socks In the caption of the post, Cardi B penned to her followers: 'It is you Miss Blossom Belles,' followed by cherry blossom emojis. The performer first revealed the name of her youngest child late last month in May as she put her ex Offset on blast. At the time, she had jumped to X Spaces to give an emotional response to a spokesperson for the music artist telling The Breakfast Club he is requesting 'everything' amid their divorce proceedings, per Hollywood Unlocked. Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset - whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus - last year in July. But it was also revealed last month that he requested she pay him spousal spousal support. At one point, the mom-of-three claimed that her estranged husband is not involved in their children's lives - including their youngest daughter Blossom, who was welcomed to the world in September 2024. 'Kiari is allowed to see my kids,' the Grammy winner emphasized. 'It is not one day that he's not allowed to see my kids. He stood up my kids three times. He has seen Blossom only like five times, and I been trying to save your face…' She continued, 'I said you can see my kids in my house. I want my daughter to feel the love of her dad. He hasn't seen his kids since March.' Cardi B also added, 'You talk to the kids almost every single day. You call the kids almost every single day. 'I allow you to talk to the kids every single day. If I allow you to talk to the kids, why would I not allow you to see the kids?' The singer has since been romantically linked to NFL player Stefon Diggs - although he was recently caught flirting with a bikini-clad woman late last month on Memorial Day. But the couple seemingly brushed aside the incident when they were seen packing on the PDA last week at the NFL star's kids football camp in Maryland. While on the field together, the pair were spotted cozying up and also shared a sweet kiss. It came not long after exclusively learned that her ex Offset made a shock decision in their divorce proceedings - and has now requested spousal support. She also claimed that their split came after she was traumatized 'waking up each day' to stories of Offset allegedly cheating on her. The rapper explained that she also began therapy due to having 'frequent headaches' and was 'literally losing my mind.' On X Spaces, Cardi B said: 'I gave chances after chances after chances after chances. 'If I was still there [in that marriage], I was going to end up going to jail because I was going to end up killing him. Seriously, with my own bare hands, because it was getting too much.' She added, 'My baby came out five pounds because I couldn't eat because I was so depressed because of the lies and the constant drama. 'This is more than the cheating. It's just like the constant lies, the gaslighting - it was really messing with my head.' Offset has also previously accused Cardi B of cheating on him, but she said, 'I was married for seven years. I was faithful for seven years. Before that, I was engaged for three years.' The star additionally expressed to her fans, 'We did help each other with our jobs. But it's like, you're helping me, but you're destroying me at the same time. You gotta go. You become a liability to my work, you gotta go.' The singer has been keeping busy and recently made an appearance at the ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Celebration in Los Angeles. She was honored with the ASCAP Voice of the Culture Award and wowed in a snakeskin-patterned dress with a plunging neckline on the front. Her dark locks were parted in the middle and flowed down straight past her shoulders. For a final touch, she added large earrings as well as flashy rings on each of her hands.
