Stowaway Lemur!

Too Cute!! Lemur! 

[karinothing]

How is it perfectly safe to have a wild animal on your babies head. At the very least the thing has claws and well you know teeth. AND could poop in your kid.

I was surprised how nervous I was holding monkeys. They still have claws and teeth even if they're cute. I would not want that on my baby's head!

In order to work with non human primates, I have to wear gloves, lab coat, eye protection, hair nets, shoe covers, a mask, get TB tested twice and have my serum banked. I am not ok with a fucking lemur on my kids head. I would not be taking pictures I would be flipping the fuck out.

I keep coming back to this (and liked it) because it's just so...odd? What is happening here? WHY is there a lemur on the baby's head?

[kdubs923]

I don't get it. Why is this happening? Did you put a lemur on your kids head? At what point did this sound like a good idea?

[Deleted]

OMG hell no. I wouldn't have let that happen. It's a wild animal, not a pet!

We are headed to the zoo in an hour or so. If a lemur ends up on my baby's head, I will not be pleased.

This is so weird. A kitten? Maybe. A lemur? Hell no.

I love that at least one person, who didn't read the article, thinks that this is the OP's baby, and is perhaps outraged (I love reading posts in a mock outraged tone, it cracks me up).

As for the picture, as much as I would be really nervous that a lemur had climbed into my child's car seat, I would probably take a picture, because who would believe you if you didn't have proof?

I do however think that it is mildly terrifying that it happened at all. Zoo animals should not be able to just hop into a car seat.

I hadn't opened this thread yet because I couldn't figure out what it meant. Maybe it was some new kind of Flat Stanley project or something? Now that I did open it I'm really bothered by this. Is that a real, live animal??

[curbsideprophet]

I can see maybe taking one picture b/c that is just a bit crazy. However I would then be asking the staff to promptly remove said lemur from my baby.

I didn't think it was OP's picture, but someone seems to have been OK with this. Unless it's totally photoshopped.

Your first response was my initial response. It is crazy that this happened, however there was one poster, not you, whose response indicated that she thought it was the Op's kid, and that cracked me up.

Oh, I would probably take a quick picture if I could. I have a picture of my grandmother with a monkey on her head ( taken at a disturbingly unregulated drive through "wilderness safari" that we used to go to in rural MO when I was a kid), and it still cracks me up.

I knew someone who had a Lemur as a pet, and those things are nasty. No way would I want one on my kid's head.

I was reading the daily mail yesterday and found the article humorous, so I thought I'd share. Like most of you, I don't think it's ok, but at first glance it was too cute...
