There is a great opportunity for kids to "Look Like Lemurs" at
West Midland Safari Park this Easter. With a variety of specially
written talks and activities scheduled for the next three weeks,
"Walking with Lemurs" is the place to be this holiday.
Keepers at the exhibit will carry out the ten-minute talks
whilst they feed the Lemurs at 1.00pm and 2.30pm. The talks are
designed to introduce the Park's latest arrivals, dish the dirt on
this mischievious new troop and share a tale or two about their
quirky behaviour.
Bob Lawrence, Director of Wildlife, said, "The most familiar of
all Lemur species is the Ring Tailed for their striking features,
pretty face and long ringed tail. They are highly sociable,
preferring to spend more time on the ground than in the tree canopy
and are avid sunbathers. Therefore in the Ring Tailed Lemur world
it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise to learn that unlike
some Lemur species, the Ring Tailed have dominant females. It is
clearly obvious with our new arrivals that the lady is boss".
The Lemur theme continues in the Park's Discovery Room where
extra activities have been specifically organized to coincide with
the opening of the new exhibit and include Lemur Mask Making and
Learn to "Look like Lemurs" Face Painting sessions.
West Midland Safari and Leisure Park is open daily, including
Bank Holidays, up to Friday 4th November 2011.
