Singapore Zoo warns against feeding animals after incident

The Mandai Wildlife Group has warned visitors against feeding animals after a woman was seen giving a soft drink to a red ruffed lemur at the Singapore Zoo. The incident occurred on March 14 and was captured in a social media post. The zoo confirmed that the lemur, named Piddy, was not harmed by the drink and remains healthy. Zookeepers are monitoring her closely, but the group reiterated its rules prohibiting visitors from feeding or touching animals. Red ruffed lemurs are critically endangered, with their population expected to decline by 80% by 2048 due to habitat loss and illegal trade. The zoo emphasizes the importance of respecting wildlife and following park rules.
