His debut at the Houston Zoo was the day I left for Tosca so I didn't get to see him that day. I finally went to visit him and the new Sifaka baby the other day. I spent far too long with the sifakas, and perhaps to my detriment. Toby was fast asleep when I arrived at his exhibit. Determined to see him (I paid $10 after all, darn it) and with only loose plans with a friend for lunch, I waited him out.
It was worth the wait, because he did wake up after about 30 minutes.
He stretched really cutely.
And he ambled about, using his litterbox and munching on some bamboo.
And then he went to sleep again. Most of the hundreds of students on field trips saw this:
And had to settle for this:
He's pretty cute, but he'd be cuter if he was awake more... I know it's a lot to ask of a nocturnal creature. I just hope he's more up and about the next time I drop by.
