Woman's wild animal rescue doesn't go as planned texasnews
Published 18 mins agoA woman in Central Texas learned a valuable lesson about rescuing injured animals from the side of the road.
A woman identified as Miss U told San Antonio Animal Care Services she spotted what she thought was an injured lemur on the side of the road and stopped to help the animal."While her intentions to help the animal were pure, the animal quickly became agitated,"With the animal frustrated, the woman stopped, got out of her car and called 311. San Antonio Animal Care Officer Centeno responded to her call for help and was able to remove the wild animal from the woman's vehicle.
Centeno said the animal was a ringtail and not a lemur. Ringtails are native to Texas and they belong to the family of coatimundis and raccoons, though they do look similar to a lemur, cat, or fox.
