Lemurs in Latin American zoos

Enzo said:
Could the crowned lemur in Sorocaba actually be a white-headed one? According to the Sorocaba zoo's website (it's oudated and innaccurate as hell), they had those.

Yes, the website leaves a lot to be desired, they have species listed that haven't been in the zoo for over a decade or more.

Yes, the specimen is very faded and not in the best condition so it technically could have been a white headed but looked very much like a crowned to me.

Do you have any pictures of it?
 
The Mundo Marino (San Clemente del Tuyú, Argentina) has some ring-tailed lemurs.

Do you know where these came from ?

No idea unfortunately. One of the articles below mentions that their arrival marks the opening of a new area called Mundo Escondido/ Hidden World. It centres around two island habitats for the ruffed lemurs and another mixed exhibit for tapir, howler monkeys and capybara. It's a large renovated space with several aviaries themed around coastal and tropical regions. I am sure there are other animals involved in this new area as well.

Some articles about the new complex can be seen in the links below:
