I didn't know that Blue-eyed black lemurs were rare, as the LA zoo has always had them. I always thought that they were just another species of lemur.
 
I've only seen them perhaps 3 times in my life, and they are much less common than ring-tails or red ruffed lemurs. On a side note, I think that the blue-eyed black lemurs are the only primates besides humans that have blue eyes.
 
Here's the other lemur exhibit animals. isis says they dont have the tortoise but the website says they do
