<p><br /> A lonely heart meerkat has finally found love thanks to a dating website set up especially for her by her owners.<br /> </p><p><br /> Staff at Twinlakes Park in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, were running out of ideas to find female meerkat Lilly a partner after a male lined up to come to the park fell through.<br /> </p><p><br /> They then decided to set up meerkatmatch.com, advertising the three-year-old as an "alert, dark-eyed, inquisitive, free spirited lady with a good sense of humour who enjoys fine dining, digging and cosy nights in."<br /> </p><p><br /> Since then, the site has had 74,000 hits and bosses at Twinlakes were contacted by a breeder who offered a match, a two-year-old male from Cambridge. Named Mr Darcy by staff at the park, he has joined Lilly and the pair are getting on like a house on fire.<br /> </p><p><br /> Park manager Sandy Gyorvari said Mr Darcy had already settled in well and had been accepted by lonely Lilly: "He's lovely, he's very nice mannered, and they're getting on really well. With her being on her own for a while, we were worried she had become a bit humanised and how she would react to another meerkat, she was either going to accept him or not but it's worked out really well."<br /> </p><p><br /> She said they hoped it would not be long before they heard the patter of tiny meerkat feet at Twinlakes, and they plan to set up a webcam so people can watch the budding romance between Lilly and Mr Darcy.<br /> </p>
