A famous elderly meerkat who gained a cult following when her fur turned white has been euthanised to “prevent her suffering”, zookeepers in South Australia have confirmed. Adelaide Zoo celebrated Snow White’s 14th birthday in September, but age finally caught up with the beloved visitor favourite. “Snowy was humanely euthanised due to a number of age-related health conditions that had seen her quality of life significantly reduced,” the animal park said in a post on Facebook.
“The only thing we’ve changed since she turned white is that we’ve moved her to a shadier habitat as her light colouring makes her more susceptible to sun damage,” senior vet Ian Smith said previously. Adelaide Zoo described Snowy as an “icon” who “captured hearts and imaginations throughout her life”. “She reminded us all of the beauty in being different, and celebrating that which makes us unique,” the park said. “We ask that you show only kindness and respect for the loss of Snow White.
