Sweden - running with the lemurs

Just east of Gävle, on the shore of the Baltic Sea, is Furuvik a hundred year-old zoo and amusement park. In addition to its age it is quite similar to the Como Zoo in St Paul (with the additional ocean front location and the hefty admission fee).  

We visited with Aunt Anna and Uncle Per, along with Pers' son and family. We spent the first half of the day in the zoo half of the park. The sheep and goat section and the amphibians were particularly popular with the boys. 

The lemur section had a walkway through it with a very low fence to keep visitors from walking on the lawn. So while people were meandering around in there the lemurs were running all over amongst the visitors. When they crossed the lawn fence Johan thought the animals were escaping and he yelled for most of the park to hear. At least someone was looking out for the zoo staff!
