Police bodycam video from Springfield, Missouri, has filmed an unusual foot pursuit, as two officers tried to catch an escaped lemur.
The speedy little primate made a dash for freedom Tuesday night and was spotted near a city park.
The video shows it sprinting and weaving across a parking lot, down a sidewalk and across some grass.
Eventually, one officer manages to catch the lemur while his partner wraps it gently in a towel.
However, the animal’s owners won’t be able to keep it.
City ordinance bans having wild animals as pets.
Instead, Springfield police say the lemur will be “well cared for and loved” by a local wildlife rescue agency.
Bounding through a darkened city park, a lemur managed to stay one step ahead of police officers armed only with a large towel.
Bodycam video shows the two officers’ attempts to nab the speedy little primate, which made a dash for freedom Tuesday in Springfield, Missouri.
“We see the tail,” one officer says with a chuckle as he tries to get closer.
