Lemurs enjoy juicy Fourth at S.F. Zoo

Human beings weren’t the only creatures celebrating July 4 this week. The lemurs of the San Francisco Zoo got a heaping helping of watermelon in celebration of Independence Day.

As part of a four-day Fourth of July event at the San Francisco Zoo & Gardens in the city’s outer Sunset District, watermelon slices were presented to the ring-tailed lemurs at 11 a.m. as zoo patrons watched in delight.
