Lemur found in London!

[Gentle Giant]

A ring-tailed lemur which was treated for shock and hypothermia after being found on a common in south-west London has been "doing well", an animal charity has said.

It was a mystery as to how he ended up in sub-zero conditions on Tooting Common on Tuesday.

Surely it can't be hard to find the owners -it could be microchipped or the local council should check their DWA licence list for those with Ring-tailed Lemurs. Unless the owners are too embarassed or not registered....

Well... King Jullien has since turned out to be Queen Jullien (it's a female!)

Nobody has come forward to claim her (as expected) and she's currently being kept at Healthrow whilst attempts are made to find her a permanent home

Not when I read it, "Family Lemuridae: All species except those of the genus Hapalemur." That includes Ring-tailed.
