Firefighters donate old hoses to zoo's lemurs

Old hoses previously used by firefighters have been donated to lemurs at a family zoo in Shropshire.

Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World thanked Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service for donating the used equipment for its animals to enjoy.

"Our lemurs have been straight into it, exploring, climbing and investigating their brand-new enrichment, a brilliant way to keep curious minds active and engaged," a zoo spokesperson said.

"Thank you to the fire crew and everyone involved for your support, our keepers (and lemurs!) are very grateful," they added.

The Telford attraction has a variety of lemurs native to Madagascar, including endangered ring-tailed lemurs, two of which were born at the site earlier this year.
