VALDOSTA, Ga. — Wild Adventures Theme Park located in south Georgia near the Florida state line got quite the surprise when zookeepers found a new born ring-tailed lemur pup that no one was expecting. 
Zookeeper Caitlin McDargh remembers getting their ring-tailed lemurs, Topanga and Cori, and finding Topanga to be a little heavier than expected.
There were no other signs that she might be pregnant. By mid-June, she’d given birth, unbeknownst to the zookeepers.
“We came in here to do our lemus talk at about 2:30 in the afternoon and she had a child,” McDargh said, reflecting that it was an “Oh my gosh” moment. “She had cleaned up the baby, so we knew it was recent.”
