Zany Video of Lemur Bouncing Off The Walls Will Give You a Chuckle

I'm sure you've heard the phrase "bouncing off the walls". This lemur puts the words into action in this zany video.

This is pretty funny to watch, but there are a couple of nagging questions. What exactly is a lemur and who in their right mind would keep one as a pet?

According to Wikipedia, lemurs are a clade of strepsirrhine primates endemic to the island of Madagascar. The word "lemur" derives from the word lemures (ghosts or spirits) from Roman mythology.

With that kind of history and the fact that a lemur can be an unpredictable pet, I'd recommend enjoying the video and leave the raising of these unusual primates to someone else.
