I saw at the Central Zoo in
Montreal on June 14, 2008,
and brought back to you.
This is not my first time
with this species. I have seen
them before and know them well.
They are very friendly and easy
to handle. They seem to enjoy
being petted and will often
lean into your hand for more
attention. Their skin feels soft
and smooth, almost like velvet.
I also noticed that they have a
slight musk odor when handled.
They make excellent pets for those
who are willing to commit time
to their care.
