We believe lemurs can be saved from extinction if we all work together. Celebrate World Lemur Day on October 25 and the World Lemur Festival all October!
This adult ring-tailed lemur in Madagascar's Berenty Reserve is exceptionally rare—it has blue eyes! While ring-tailed lemur infants are born with blue eyes, they typically shift to golden brown as they mature. Blue eyes are highly unusual in mammals.
Stink fights, tooth combs and toilet claws—these are just some of the many attributes that make lemurs so loveable! Celebrate #WorldLemurDay with 5 fun and fascinating facts about these prosimians from primate keeper Lynne McMahan. ✏️ STORY: s.si.edu/3pNZMj4.
Hooray for lemurs on #WorldLemurDay! Visit with Maki and the rest of our group of ring-tailed lemurs at Franklin Park Zoo's Zoo Howl this weekend. Their bandit masks are ready to go—we can't wait to see your costumes! 🎃
