Gus' Story

Gus is a captivating and intriguing Ring-Tailed Lemur who was adopted as a companion to Rupert, the man who started it all for Wildlife Wonderland. The two of them lived together and roamed freely, showcasing their charming personalities and causing delightful mischief. However, as Gus reached the age of 2, he displayed signs of aggression towards my daughter, Alice, which can be extremely dangerous considering the strength of Ring Tails, who capable of ripping through flesh in seconds. Thus, the boys had to live in an enclosure, with very limited interaction from humans.

​

In the spring of 2022, Gus took a turn for the worst and became aggressive towards his caretakers. To ensure the safety of everyone involved, Gus was removed and housed with Aubrey, another human-aggressive ring tail surrender. Despite this change, Gus remains a beloved member of the Wildlife Wonderland family. His favorite foods are bananas and still loves to be scratched between his eyes.
