Overview
- The twin male lemurs were born to seven-year-old Eve on April 12 and are the first ring‑tailed lemur babies at the zoo in 13 years.
- Keepers report both infants are healthy and showing distinct personalities, with one exploring branches and the other staying close to their mother.
- The family is on view in Drusillas' walk‑through lemur enclosure during the May half‑term, drawing visitor interest and ticket promotions.
- Zoo managers say the births form part of a wider spring of successful litters and will be used to promote the park's captive‑breeding and outreach efforts.
- Ring‑tailed lemurs are native to Madagascar and listed as endangered by the IUCN due to habitat loss, hunting and the illegal pet trade, which Drusillas says its SEED Madagascar link aims to address.
