Two runaway lemurs captured in Austrian bar: reports

 

VIENNA - Two young ring-tailed lemurs which had escaped from Salzburg zoo
five days ago have been recaptured by their keepers in a hotel bar in a
nearby village, according to local media reports Friday.

 

The two-year-old males had escaped from Salzburg's Hellbrunn zoo on Sunday
afternoon, journeying around 25 kilometres (15 miles) over the next four
days.

 

On Thursday morning, they crept through the open window of a hotel in the
village of Wals, where staff lured them into the bar with fruits before
calling the zoo to collect them.

 

A spokeswoman for the zoo said the animals' keepers had been keeping track
of their whereabouts, but had not made their escape public so as not to
trigger a hunt for them.
