Lemur on the loose

A black-and-white ruffed lemur escaped from his summer enclosure at Ostrava zoo on Tuesday morning. The lemur was sighted at several locations but all efforts to re-capture him have so far failed. The zoo’s management has asked the public for assistance saying the animal, which resembles a large black and white cat rather than a monkey, may be tempted with fruit. On ascertaining his whereabouts people should call the zoo and not try to capture him by themselves.
