Newborn Lemur Saved by Zoo Vets
Posted by Andrew Bleiman on
Veterinarians and keepers carried out a rare procedure to save the life of a Critically Endangered newborn Lemur at Wild Place Project.
They stepped in just hours after the tiny White-belted Ruffed Lemur and his two siblings were born. The babies’ mother, Ihosy, was not showing any interest in them. The little Lemurs, each smaller than a stick of butter, were getting cold and dehydrated.
