Dylan McDaniel has been working with animals all his life and doing shows with them for five years. On July 3rd, McDaniel from Wild Things Zoofari brought six of his animals to show at the Yorktown Public Library.
McDaniel brought Zeus the red ruffed lemur. Zeus loves to sleep, eat, scream, run, and lastly poop. His favorite thing to eat is watermelon. McDaniel taught the children gathered for the event that red ruffed lemurs are also called “Farmers of Madagascar” because their feces can fertilize seeds. McDaniel also informed everyone that these types of Lemurs are one of the most endangered species, and that they may be extinct in the next 20 years.
“He does not talk quietly,” McDaniel said. Zues is always running and screaming “AH AH AH.”
