On the day in late December that St. Louis crossed the threshold to its 200th homicide, a horrific slaying still managed to horrify even the most jaded observers. Three young women were gunned down in a car in the Fairgrounds neighborhood around 3 a.m., apparently after an intruder broke into their home.
Mort is a character in the Madagascar series. Mort has light brown and beige fur, big yellow eyes, a round head, a little black nose, long whiskers, mouse-like ears, buck teeth, and a long, squirrel-like, bushy tail. Mort usually serves as a foil for King Julien.
Mort made his first appearance in Madagascar, wherein he lives among the other native lemurs under King Julien. The King used Mort as a test to see if Alex and the others eat lemurs (where Mort was starting to cry, because Alex scared him), and Mort quickly decided that he likes them. Mort is last seen in the film with the other lemurs, wishing the animals farewell, and Julien uses Mort as a make-shift footrest.
