Lemur Update

On Wednesday January 11^th, a family overheard noises in their garage, and thinking it was just a local wild animal or stray cat, they were surprised to see that it was a ring-tailed lemur. The family contacted the Illinois Conservation Police, who asked the Miller Park Zoo for assistance. Jay (Miller Park Zoo Director) and Rose (Animal Keeper) met with the Illinois Conservation Police at the home.
