sebastian

our friendly ring-tailed lemur

“Hello! My name is Sebastian, the ring-tailed lemur with a flair for the dramatic and a swing in my step! I'm eight years old and easily recognizable by my unique Hershey kiss-shaped eyebrow marking. I spend my days mastering the art of balance on my favorite toy, the swing. When I'm not lounging on the swing, I indulge in my all-time favorite snack, craisins. Life's a swing, and I'm here to enjoy every moment of it. So, come along, why don't you? Let's bask in the sun, savor the little joys, and maybe share a craisin or two. Welcome to my world!"
