A lemur on my keyboard - Thai girl plays for animals in deserted zoo

Khao Kheow, Thailand: Dressed from head to toe in a bright green alligator costume, a girl was playing a tune on her keyboard in a Thai zoo, unfazed by a lemur climbing onto the instrument.

It was the latest in an unusual series of outdoor recitals at Khao Kheow Open Zoo, southeast of Bangkok, by 11-year-old Seenlada Supat, who says she wants to keep the animals company while visitor numbers are low due to a COVID-19 outbreak. "I'm playing music to soothe the animals to help them feel relaxed and give them company so they are not too lonely," she told Reuters.
