Zaboomafo Lemur has died - Catherine - 11-13-2014 Jovian the Zaboomafo Lemur has died at the age of 20. http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/jovian-the-lemur-from-pbs-s-zoboomafoo-dead-at-20-1.2832381 He was a wonderful creature and the show did a lot to teach children about animals. It sounds like he had a good life and he will be much missed, especially by the adults who knew him when they were children. RE: Zaboomafo Lemur has died - Cibach - 11-15-2014 It does sound as though he helped to teach a lot of people about animals. What a long and productive life he lead. I'm sure he will be sorely missed. RE: Zaboomafo Lemur has died - Catherine - 11-16-2014 There are a lot of adults who knew him as children who have a love of animals because of his show. If I remember correctly the theme song was "Each animal is a friend of mine". They didn't just show the usual cute animals. They showed some of everything. I sure hope the show lives on in reruns and You Tube. RE: Zaboomafo Lemur has died - Tobi - 11-19-2014 Oh I am sorry he has passed away. I suppose he was well-known. I haven't heard of him before. Was he quite well-known in Canada? Maybe on television there? I have no television at all any more, so do miss a lot. Used to watch catch-up, but it hasn't been loading properly. But I will look out for the re-runs on YouTube, and if I find any will post links. However, YouTube has taken off so many videos that used to be there even in 2012 and 2013! RE: Zaboomafo Lemur has died - Catherine - 11-19-2014 The show was on USA television(so it played in Canada) years ago. The main theme was, Each Animal is a Friend of Mine. The Lemur was with the co-hosts all through each episode, so he was important to the show. I am not happy to hear that You Tube removes videos. I guess I thought You Tube was forever. I don't really have TV either. I can get stuff through my computer in different ways, but I usually am not able to sit and watch at the time most shows are on. Most stuff isn't worth watching anyhow. |
