During the quarantine period, there were no bustling tourists in the past. The animals at the San Francisco Zoo were supposed to spend their days leisurely under the care of the caretaker. Animals who were old or had health problems and could not return to the wild should also be taken care of by rescuers.
However, Goose, a 21-year-old lemur Maki in the San Francisco Zoo, suffered a "thrilling" outing... (I don't know what a lemur is, you can refer to Madagascar...)

In the end, with everyone's help, the lemur was trapped and transferred back to the zoo.It is said that it has developed symptoms of hunger and dehydration, but the animal breeder said that Maki will soon recover.
And the 5-year-old James Trinh, who discovered Maki's trail, was given to him and his family as life members by the zoo. In other words, he and his family do not need to buy tickets to the zoo in the future!You can visit Maki the lemur and other animals at any time.
The zoo said that this is the best way they can think of thanking the little boy because he saved his life.
