You cheeky little monkey: Lemur tries to break out of wildlife park by stowing away in baby's car seat

Maybe this cheeky little Lemur thought he could pass himself off as a child's cuddly toy or even a Davy Crockett-style hat after climbing into a baby's car seat in an audacious attempt to break out of a wildlife park - but his plans were thwarted by the child's mother.

Stunned Angie Widernis could not believe her eyes when she went to check on nine-week-old daughter Finley to discover the ring-tailed lemur sitting comfortably on her head during their trip to the Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard, Kansas.

Despite the furry critter scrambling about and playing with her toys, baby Finley did not even wake up from her snooze and after staff told them he was perfectly safe the family managed to capture the incident on camera.
