Hurricane season officially begins on August 1st. NOAA's predictions indicate there's a 60% change of above-average hurricane activity this fall. They expect a total of 3-19 named storms, 6-10 of which forecast to become hurricanes, and 3-5 of which could be category 3 or higher.

It may take several weeks to finish repairs on the lemur enclosure, and CARE is facing substantial costs in repairing their site and rebuilding that habitat. If you’d like to assist with their recovery, information about what help is needed and where to donate is at www.facebook.com/CARERescueTX

CARE Executive Director Heidi Krahn transported their lemurs to the Frank Buck Zoo. Housing another facility’s animals requires an appropriate, physically distanced enclosure, and undertaking additional biosecurity precautions. FBZ is able to provide all of those comfort and safety measures.
