More lemurs and foosa



This mother lemur is carrying her baby around, you can just see it’s head and hand sticking out.  The baby holds on to the underside of the mother and she keeps it snuggled pretty close.  The APs went to the same lemur park about 4 weeks later and they got to pet the baby, they said it was about the size of a small kitten, and the mother wasn’t nearly as protective of it as she was when we were there.





We went over to another part of the Park where the foosas were.  There were about six foosas in a chain link enclosure.  They were amazing to watch.   They weren’t as big as I thought they were going to be, or else they were young ones.  According to Madagascar, the movie, the foosa like to lunch on lemurs.  Sure glad they couldn’t get to the cute lemurs we had been playing with that morning.


They are definitely meat eaters!
