VIDEO: How do you make a meerkat laugh? Tickle its belly - simples
THIS hilarious video shows how simples it is to make a meerkat laugh.
The youngster can clearly be heard having a proper giggle as his tummy is tickled.
The meerkat - named Alexander after the Compare The Market Russian critter - was filmed laughing with pleasure at Whitehouse Farm Centre near Morpeth, Northumberland.
His keepers regularly stroke his and his fellow meerkat's stomachs - causing them to make a giggle-like sound.
Staff member Karen Lovatt said the ticklish creatures are spreading the laughter and sending visitors into stitches.
