On this World Lemur Day, we are celebrating lemurs! Did you know that lemurs are the worldâs oldest living primate that naturally only live on the island of Madagascar? Lemurs are comprised of an estimated 112 species, all endangered and threatened with extinction.
Known as the âcreators of the forestsâ because of their key role as seed dispersers, lemurs play a significant role within their ecosystem, helping forests to grow. At the Zoo, the multi-species Lipman Family Lemur Forest gives guests an eye-level view of how lemurs live, high in the trees, and the dynamics of how different lemur species interact with one another. They are also active and curious, can often be seen in a sun-worshipping pose on a particularly sunny day, and keen on snacking on their favorite foods, like honeysuckle and coprosma.
Even with Halloween surprises, red panda Tenzing canât help but spend the time somersaulting - and weâre there for it!
Itâs International Sloth Day and hereâs one of our two male two-toed sloths, Andale, with his caretaker Elyse.
Known as the slowest moving mammals on the planet, they excel at conserving energy! On this day, we celebrate all things sloth, and support their continued protection. Sloths face such threats as habitat destruction, illegal trafficking and poaching, with two of the six species considered critically endangered. These arboreal mammals are solitary, and as you can see from this vid, are leaf-eating, but also enjoy fruits andâŠwalnuts!
When youâve got an itch, youâve just got to scratch it! Our Przewalskiâs horses may ease an itch by scratching against something, like this tree, or even roll around in the dirt. Youâll even see our female pair, Solongo and Bajkit, grooming one another.
