Crowned Lemur

Once at the top of the hill, we visited the Primate, Cat, and Aquatics Building, which as its name implies features a diverse selection of creatures. Most of the animals seemed to originate in Africa and Asia. We watched a snow leopard pacing the pen (a little too fast for non-blurry pictures) and monkeys jumping from limb to limb. The Crowned Lemur above captured my attention because its fur looks almost as soft as a teddy bear! It was born on June 2, 2014, and still seems to be considered a baby. I was surprised to learn that these lemurs only live on the northern tip of Madagascar off the east coast of Africa.
