Lemur exhibit

There are ring-tailed, red-ruffed, black-and-white ruffed and brown lemurs living in this exhibit. But according to the keeper, other lemurs decided to leave the exhibit and entered the forest nearby that day, as the exhibit is not a closed area. The zoo-keepers can only rely on their friendship between the lemurs to keep them inside the tourist area.

This is a very nice naturalistic exhibit (though a tropical location make this type of exhibit easier I suppose). The set up is interesting too, do you know if they have lost any lemurs? Has the zoo bred any of the lemurs? If so I would worry that they may get hybridising.

The zoo is on a peninsula, thus the lemurs cannot escape from the zoo. I think they bred, but I hadn't seen other species thus don't know whether there are hybrids. I think only the two ruffed lemurs will have the risk of hybridizing?
 
This looks like a beauitiful exhibit, although its a shame the lemurs can leave the exhibit if it means you can't see them in it!
