Meet my Lemur Friends

[starrypawz]

So I mentioned in my time whilst I've not really been around the Arena I've picked up some volunteer work at  a local zoo, in which I'm posted in a walk through lemur enclosure, and basically my 'job' is helping out so I feed, clean, interact with the public etc and so I feel I should show some pictures
We have three types of lemur in the walkthrough, Crowned, Red Bellied and Black and White Ruffed, we have a group of 8 animals in total (4 Crowned, 3 Red Bellied and 1 Black and White)

So so so so adorable!  I treasure the time I was able to volunteer at our zoo and spend so much time with the amazing animals.

c: With lemurs there's about 100 different species of them so yeah there's quite a bit of variety out there

Wow, thanks for sharing!  I just love lemurs! I haven't seen some of these species before, though. I like the picture of Ala especially It must be wonderful to work with them.

I love lemurs! I have never been to a zoo where you can have a walkthrough with lemurs, that must be so cool! And congrats on working at such a nice place!!!

You would be right
Thankfully it isn't too terrible since these guys are frugivores and so live off a fruit/veg/plant matter based diet

[Teddy]

Aww, great pics!! Lemurs are such interesting critters, I just love that there are so many different species. You're really making me miss my days as a zookeeper, though! We had Red-bellies, Red Ruffed, and Ring-tails at my zoo. I didn't take care of them, but they super cute and fun to watch.

Thanks for sharing! They look super cute, and I bet they're very intelligent.
