Meeting Lemurs at the Zoo

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
A few weeks ago, I visited Paradise Wildlife Park to see the animals. I also had an experience to meet with lemurs and see monkeys. I got to go inside the lemur enclosure and feed the lemurs. Lemurs are social animals, and they jumped onto my shoulders and happily ate the fruit I fed them. The zoo has many different types of animals, and you can get close and personal with some of them, and visitors can walk all the way around cages so that they are able to catch a glimpse of the animals. (Many of the animals sleep a lot, so being able to walk around the outside of the cages gives more probability of a glimpse of the animals.) The zoo also has regular feedings of the animals, bird displays, and discussions where visitors can learn more about the animals and see them being fed. After meeting with the lemurs, I think that they are interesting creatures.

These two lemurs seemed to be copying each others' movements as they held hands and leaned backwards

I forget what this fellow was called (a type of lemur?), but his eyes are a little frightening.
