A California man has agreed to plead guilty to theft after he admitted taking a critically endangered ring-tailed lemur from the Santa Ana Zoo, according to a Department of Justice news release.
Aquinas Kasbar, 19, broke into the zoo and used bolt cutters to access the lemur encampment and steal Isaac, the oldest ring-tailed lemur in US captivity.Isaac is 32 years old according to the release. The life span of a lemur typically is 20 to 25 years. Ring-tailed lemurs are on a list of the 25 most endangered primates and are under threat partly because of the illegal pet trade, according to the plea agreement.
