lemur days!
So during my typical day at Madagascar, the fun never ends. Like always, my favorite part of the day is preparing enrichment and training. One would think that these activities would be for the animals. However, that day was different. When I was target training the lemurs, I was in for a turn in events. It all started out normal until when we were about to be done. It turns out that I was in for a treat for some training. One of my favorite lemurs, Teddy, a black and white lemur, was my lemur to train for the day. He was very good at all of the commands I asked of him. On my last command, I made him hold on to a vine as a give him a push as if he was on a swing. Teddy always likes this and so does the audience from the board walk above. As he passed me a couple a times, he was successful to holding on. However, one time Teddy came around and ended up accidentally runs into me. Fortunately, I was able to catch myself instead of sliding down the hillside. When I thought that recovery was over, I hear another black and white lemur laughing at me. This made the audience laugh and the other zookeepers. Eventually, I had to join along. All of this makes my day. I guess the lemurs are starting to like me :P.
