A Newport Beach man has pleaded guilty to stealing an endangered ring-tailed lemur from the Santa Ana Zoo last summer.
Isaac, a 32-year-old lemur who has been at the Santa Ana Zoo since 2000, was stolen last summer but was found safely and returned.
Hours after he broke into the zoo, prosecutors said, Kasbar left Isaac in an unventilated crate outside a Newport Beach hotel, with a note that read, “This belongs to the Santa Ana Zoo. It was taken last night. Please bring it to police.” At 32, Isaac is North America’s oldest ring-tailed lemur in captivity. Lemurs are found in the wild only on the island nation of Madagascar and are an endangered species.
“My client quickly regretted his action and took action that night to ensure that the lemur was returned safely to the zoo,” Gurwitz said.in connection with a series of residential burglaries between May 2018 and December in Balboa Island and Corona del Mar, according to the Orange County district attorney’s office.
