Charlie the Baby Lemur Makes an Unexpected Debut When we went to feed the Lemurs one morning we were amazed to find a new baby. He was strong and healthy and has been named Charlie. He has grown at an amazing rate and was remarkably independent, even at a few days of age. Almost one year to the day since Rusti the fox was brought to us as an abandoned pup we had two more baby foxes brought to us after their mother was killed on the road. Their eyes had still not opened and they were huddling in the hedgerow, frightened and cold. We fed them every few hours, day and night using a dolls feeding bottle, and both began to grow and opened their eyes. |

Their noses grews proportionally longer. Their eyes turned brown and their fur became a ginger colour on top and white underneath. Unfortunately one of the babies died suddenly and unexpectedly during the night, but the other is now romping ahead and is beginning to look like a real fox. He has been named Tyson because he is such a fighter. Just like Rusti he loves attention and behaves like a pet dog. We hope to introduce him to Rusti (right) and hope that they will enjoy each others company. |

Baby foxes are born with black fur, short stub noses and blue eyes, which remain closed for the first week. Soon after their eyes open they begin to eat solid foods and grow rapidly. |

"The
Chimpanzees and other animals at Wales Ape & Monkey Sanctuary had nowhere else to go and it
is comforting to know
that these creatures, and others like them, will always have a home
there."
