Mongoose Lemur at Monkey Park, 09/11/10

Eulemur mongoz

A series of walkthrough cages; this one home to a curious mix of Common Squirrel Monkeys and a Mongoose Lemur. The zoo sells bags of nuts/seeds/pellets to feed to the primates, with the result that most are a) very tame and b) rather overweight.

While I dont particularly like it or think its great I've seen the mix of neotropical monkeys and lemurs work out before.

The Sorocaba zoo here in Brazil kept a lovely female gray woolly monkey with a group of four male ring tailed lemurs for quite some time and it apparently was ok (though the ring tails were a little avoidant of the monkey).
