Verecia veriegata

It was a slightly warm winter's day when Leigh arrived at the Black and White Ruffed Lemur exhibit. The Lemurs were hiding, although there were bird sounds all around. He then saw that one Lemur was sitting out in the open. He wasn't going to do the video by himself. His brother Rick, and Rick's fiance Grace, were also coming. They were late. As he waited the Lemur disappeared again. He waited a few more minutes, catching glimpses of a lemur through the vegetation. Then heard Grace pull up nearby, next to his car.

“Sorry, Brother,” Rick said as he and Grace approached.

“Traffic was backed up again,” Grace commented.

Leigh arrived at the Meerkat exhibit, and saw that Cora was already there. She was crouched down next to the glass looking at the Meerkats where they were lying in a huddle. “Hi, Leigh,” she said as she stood up. “It's amazing how small they are!”

“Definitely, everyone says that,” Leigh said.

“Do they?”

“Pretty much.”

“Is anyone else coming?”

“DK is.”

It was bright and sunny when Topher arrived at the Black Handed Spider Monkey Exhibit. Unlike the lemurs, the Spider Monkeys were on display. “Now I'm ready,” he said. He took the camcorder out of the bag. “These are the Black Handed Spider Monkeys, from Central America. As you can see, they have prehensile tails, which can be used like an extra hand. The tip has similar dexterity to a finger.”

There was a light shower when Topher arrived at the Ringtailed Lemur exhibit. The lemurs were nowhere to be seen. “Well, not much I can do,” he said. He took a couple of photos of the exhibit anyway.


'How long to wait?' he wondered after a few more minutes. He was in his lunch break.
