This didn't hit the press - but I guess an escaped Lemur isn't quite as scary as an escaped Lion.

I took the kids to the Zoo this past Bank Holiday Monday - pretty normal trip to the zoo as zoo trips go.  However, nearing the end I came across this escaped Ringtailed Lemur sitting in a tree outside a monkey enclosure.

I was able to walk right up to him and get my camera to within about 1 foot of him and take some great shots.
