Police bodycam video from Springfield, Missouri, has filmed an unusual foot pursuit, as two officers tried to catch an escaped lemur.
In this photo released by the Springfield Police Dept., two smiling police officers hold a lemur wrapped in a towel with its face, hands and tail poking out in Springfield, Mo., on Sept. 12, 2023. The lemur evaded police in the city before it was eventually captured that night. – Bounding through a darkened city park, a lemur managed to stay one step ahead of police officers armed only with a large towel.
Finally, another officer is able to grab the lemur and hold it still as his partner gently gets it “snuggled up” in the towel, the Springfield Police Department said inThe animal's owners had reported it missing, the department said, and were later reunited with it. But they won’t be able to keep it — city ordinance bans having wild animals as pets.
Instead, police say the lemur has been connected with a local wildlife rescue agency where it will be “well cared for and loved.” Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed without permission.
