The Old Woman Who Lives in a Shoe Raises Baby Lemurs Now

This looks like lemur smuggling but it isn't.

The Old Woman doesn't exactly raise her lemurs in a shoe but she does do it in a slipper and it looks like the lemur is just fine with that.

- Insert lengthy editorial on how much the Rockhouse is revulsed by animal traffickers, particularly those who specialize in exotics, because they do not give any kind of a tinker's damn about how many die along the way to their malicious profit -


This baby ring-tailed lemur is safe from poachers and traffickers now and she wasn't at all safe in the wild, for multiple reasons (e.g. habitat loss, etc).
