Meet Baby Nova

"Star", a lemur species protected in Madagascar, became a first time mother to "Nova" earlier this spring.
If you haven't made it to the Pueblo Zoo this summer, you need to make a trip out there to say hello to "Nova". She is the baby lemur pictured here riding atop her mom "Star".  The day we were there she was so playful it made it hard for our photographer Teddy, to get a good snap. He finally managed when a plate of food was brought out. It slowed her down for about 2 seconds!
Zoo curator Marilyn McBirney tells us she had her first visit outside on Monkey Island this week.
We imagine, after she feels brave enough to leave mom a bit, she will be all over the place!
