I really hope you were joking. My ex sister in law works for Sea World. She had one she was working with for expos and tv appearances for the park. It was an amazing animal. Not something I'd want in my home though. He could literally jump from the floor to the top of an 8 ft ceilng in a split second. I know hers destroyed a few hotel rooms while on Sea World promotional tours.

(Imagine what the poor maids thought after that thing left a room) lol

Nope not kidding. My grandpa and uncles use to hunt for Deer, Wild Boar, Wild Turkey, Lemur back in Jalisco Mexico. I got a taste of everything they'd hunt and boy ARE they good eats. Sorry, they are ADORABLE don't get me wrong but where my mom is from, lots of people grow, harvest, and hunt their own food. I even got to eat Green Iguana.

It's probably a different type of ring tailed. I remember seeing them humping around on the forest floor. Monkey looking with REALLY long fluffy tails, babies on their backs, and stood on their hind legs.

You're probably thinking of Ring-tailed Cats (Bassariscus astutus):

No, they were dark all over except for the white rings on their tails... Not at all looked like a cat. Lol! Let me research it and see if I can find it...

This is another animal I have eaten there... I clearly remember it looking a little different but this could have been it.

Those are coatimundi (Nasua sp.), not lemurs as the video title indicates.

Yes I saw the correction in a comment of the video... I was about 13 years old when I saw these I guess I assumed they were Lemurs. Lol! Cute little guys but oh so tasty. Thank you!
