This is what happens when you are behind with the news ...........
One moment while I pad the paws off to put the oven on and get a mug of soup.
I don't know how many of you remember the baby lemuure who was abandoned by his mum because he was born quite a few weeks before he should have been and she became frightened because she didn't know what to do with such a tiny, tiny lemuure.
The family live in a wildlife park in Scotland.

Gollum has a new name now that he's back with mum .. Leonardo. At eight months old he likes to give his mum a cuddle because they are very, very happy to be back together. I think at eight months old he is a trifle heavy to be hoping for a lift around the park. He seems to be looking hopeful in this photo though but he must now pad his own paws around the park himself even though he missed out on his mum carrying him when he was younger. Usually ringtail pups have to pad their own paws around the place when they are about three months old.
And, yes, ringtail babeees are sometimes called pups and we purrrrrr like puddly cats when we are happy and we can meow as well but then us ringtails are also known as lemur catta .... puuuurrrrrrr ... lol!!! I wonder if this could be why. puuuurrrrrrrr.
Well, I have to pad the paws to the land of dreamy dreams again because i'm not really a nocturnal lemuure so it really is time for me to turn in.
