Rotem Gabay, a 27-year-old from Petah Tikva, who is both an animal caretaker at the Safari in the Savanna and a singer-songwriter, recently performed for a unique audience: lemurs. Gabay, a graduate of the Rimon School of Music, who served in the Air Force band and competed on the fourth season of "The Voice," previously sang for giraffes at the safari two months ago. This time, she chose the lemurs. As soon as Gabay began to sing, the lemurs showed immediate curiosity, approaching her one by one and gathering around her. They remained close throughout her performance, appearing attentive to every note. The encounter created a special, wordless connection between the singer's voice and the curious animals. Beyond the emotional moment, the Safari noted that such experiences provide behavioral enrichment for the animals, exposing them to diverse stimuli that encourage exploration. While it's uncertain if the lemurs enjoyed the music in a human sense, their evident curiosity, proximity, and prolonged presence indicated an unusual and engaging interaction. The Safari ensures that animals are exposed to varied stimuli while prioritizing their welfare and freedom to choose their level of engagement.
