Now they are cute. Very cute. And fluffy. And I want one. No, two.

They look very similar to CATS to me: 

 

 

Bugsy!

Ring Tailed Lemurs are absolutely gorgeous, I remember seeing them at Jersey Zoo back in the 1990's. At that time they were only zoo that had bred them in captivity... I dare say that has changed these days.  Really nice photo.. clear and pin sharp.

Only to find Gideon's bible..."

 

Very nice. Very cute.

What a lovely shot! 

 

 

Fuji, I don't know how long it is since you went to Dudley Zoo, but the Lemurs have their own garden type enclosure which you can walk through.

The only thing is that some people will crowd around them for ages trying to stroke them (which they aren't supposed to do)  etc. and not giving other people a chance.
The first time we went, there were loads of Lemurs but last year there weren't as many, but they were still worth seeing.

I find keep finding myself popping back for another look, not something I do very often... absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks folks, they are cute little critters.

 

Colchester also now has a walk-through enclosure with some ring-tailed and soem red-ruffed lemurs that tend to ignore the visitors.

i used to think those things were cute, till i took a picture of one showing me his teeth ... korky your welcome to them ! lol

[Kobione]

Nice one, Bugs - I agree with Fuji, it's the one 'on guard' that makes the picture!!

Now that I know they have teeth, I've changed my mind. I don't want one.

 

Apart from Herman the spider, who lives in the bathroom cupboard and only comes out on Wednesdays, Korky Towers is a pet-free zone. And long may that continue.
