The tender story of a lemur cub in the Cali Zoo who lives clinging to a stuffed animal to replace the warmth of his mother: 'I didn't feed it'

A baby ring-tailed lemur born at the Cali Zoo on June 18, 2026, has been kept alive by human caregivers after its mother failed to provide adequate care. Weighing just 70 grams at birth, the infant was attached to a stuffed toy to simulate maternal warmth while being monitored 24 hours a day. Veterinary specialists have implemented a strict feeding schedule, temperature regulation, and behavioral stimulation to improve its chances of survival. The lemur, an endangered species native to Madagascar, is receiving specialized formula and organic pureed vegetables, and is exposed to sunlight for vitamin D synthesis. The zoo staff emphasized that such cases, though rare in the wild, can be managed through professional care.
