Three Times the Cuteness: Check in on the Lemur Pups!

Three sets of fuzzy ears and wide, curious eyes recently joined the CMZoo family! These tiny ring-tailed lemur babies are already turning heads with their inquisitive expressions and snuggles on Allagash. While they're still nursing, they're also beginning to explore some solid foods. The pups cling tightly to Allagash but are starting to show signs of independence. Allagash’s adult daughter, Anja, seems especially curious about the little ones and has even started helping with grooming duties. According to the Lemur Conservation Foundation, lemurs are among the most threatened groups of mammals. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimates that more than 95 percent of lemurs face extinction in the next 20 years. Ring-tailed lemurs are endangered, according to the IUCN. Hercules has had breeding recommendations with Allagash and Rogue as part of the ring-tailed lemur Species Survival Plan, managed cooperatively by members of Association of Zoos and Aquariums-accredited facilities, like CMZoo. Guests can see the babies right away, on Lemur Island in the hippo area, in Water's Edge Africa!
