Oops! Loads of reporters (including us at Newsround) got caught up in a joke about a group of meerkats who had apparently taken photos of each other when someone left a camera in their enclosure
But it turns out it was a hoax and the man who sent the snaps out thought it was a good joke and that no-one would take him seriously
Staff at Longleat Safari Park DID leave a camera in the creatures' enclosure for a bit, and the meerkats climbed all over it, but they didn't actually take any pics of each other
Someone then sent them to a news agency which sells stories to newspapers, so lots of papers and websites reported on the story of the amazing meerkats and their snap-happy ways
All the dodgy shots were taken by a member of staff at the zoo. Sorry guys!
