Story

Summary
British Pathe synopsis: A woman sits in a wintery park setting reading a book. She strokes a fur which is around her neck. Suddenly the fur wrap moves and reveals itself to be a live creature! The woman continues to stroke it as it moves around her neck. "It’s a lemur, all the way from Madagascar; and a very warm fur it makes - if it would only keep still." The lemur clambers around its owner’s neck and balances on her shoulder to take food from her hand. "He’s a chummy little fellow, and from his wild state becomes domesticated very quickly" said Miss Palmer." C/U of her and her pet.
