This is a great story and video about a lemur that got CPR.They called him Heudini.
Heudini fell into water. Mama and Papa lemur looked frantically as the baby went under. The zookeeper found the baby lemur and performed CPR. Watch this dramatic rescue unfold. I once tried to perform the Heimlich maneuver on my dog when I was young. But I've never had to try CPR. Your pets really are part of your family.
Unfortunately, Houdini later died of suspected pneumonia.
great story and video, my pets are definitely my family too
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great story, but you should know that hulu.com is blocked for almost the entire world. Luckily there are many video sources and the story is quite googleable.
ReplyDeleteI would have had to fight every urge in my body to not jump in there and grab him.
ReplyDeleteI like animals better than a lot of people I know ;)
OHN,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. :)
Good thing they're lemurs and not people. The zoo would already have been sued for being an unsafe environment.
ReplyDeleteSo what was the outcome? Did the poor little feller suffer any brain damage from oxygen deprivation? Did he return to his parents?
