Needless to say, that a baby lemur is the cutest dweller at the Bristol Zoo (Great Britain). He is that small, he can fit in the palm of a person, but is going to become the world’s biggest nocturnal primate. These species of lemurs are rare species. The baby was called Raz and he is two-month-old aye-aye lemur and only the second species of lemurs to be born in Britain.

he looks so funny, like a mixture of a bat and a mouse. Unbelievable cuttie! Raz is a short variant from Razafindranriatsimaniry (a Malagasy name meaning “son of a Prince or noble man who envies nobody”). The baby seems to be OK, he is giving food every 2 hours round clock, he gains weight and looks nice. Raz is the 2nd aye-aye lemur to be born in Great Britain, the 1st one was a girl – Kintana, actually, aye-aye is classified as endangered according to the IUCN Red List.

Good luck and health to you, dear little Raz!
