Photographer Fajar Andriyanto, 44, captured the heartwarming scene at Taman Safari Zoo, in Java, Indonesia.

'Normally, they are found in the desert, so I imagine they are not used to the rain.'
Mr Andriyanto from Jakarta, Indonesia, added: 'I often take picture of meerkats, but I've never taken a photograph like this one and I was incredibly surprised by their behaviour.'
Meanwhile, in Japan a group of macaque monkeys at the Awajishima Monkey Center in Sumoto, Hyogo, had the same idea and got up close to protect themselves from the cold weather.
The group looked adorable with their pink faces starring up at the lens as they snuggled up.
