Laurie Gawelko just moved to Texas she's still exploring all it has to offer in the way of wildlife.
Friday she called Primarily Primates to report she might have a ring-tailed lemur in her backyard. She sent several photos, and the non-profit sanctuary was quickly able to explain to her that what she spotted was actually a ring-tailed cat.
Primarily Primates gets a similar phone call at least once a month. The ring-tailed cat is rare, and it's not a cat at all, but a relative to the raccoon. These nocturnal omnivores are safe and keep to themselves.
Gawelko is helping the creature with some food, but Primarily Primates said it's best to let them fend for themselves, so they don't become dependent on humans.
