Episode #8 – Pet Lemurs? Just Don’t
Did you realize it’s legal to keep lemurs as pets in Tennessee (and several other American states)? Yeah, we were shocked, too. Trust us, though, you don’t want to go down that path for a lot of reasons.
In this week’s episode, we’ve brought in one of our lemur caretakers to explain why these prosimians are like furry little fireworks displays. They’re beautiful and fun to watch, but you wouldn’t want one in your living room.
