lemurs

Many of you know me for my population lists as I've created quite a few of those but this time around I decided to tackle a slightly different and more challenging project! I've spent the last few weeks trying to put together a list of all the holders of primate species in North America. In...

A walkthrough enclosure for lemurs at Northumberland Country Zoo. The zoo keeps red-fronted and ring-tailed lemurs.

Part of the enclosure for the zoo's newly-arrived Red-fronted brown lemurs.

These were new arrivals at the time of my visit.

Madagascar (Rock Park Zoo) A building and outdoor area for endangered lemurs, tortoises, and other Madagascan animals

Second poll of 2021 in a series for zoochatters to vote for one of two EDGE mammal species. This time it is primates and a case of little vs large. Both species are primates (one great ape and the a prosimian) have characteristic red fur, are frequently kept by zoos and are classed as "...

I wanted to start this thread specifically about the gentle / bamboo lemurs within zoos and discuss what the best enclosures for these species look like and what are the best holdings out there. Evidently the Haplalemur are neither as diverse a genus as the Eulemurs nor kept by as many zoos as...

I've been doing some thinking and reading about the necessity of ex-situ Eulemur conservation lately given how dire the situation facing many of these is in the wild in Madagascar. I wanted to start this thread specifically about the genus within zoos and discuss what the best enclosures for...

This is quite an interesting website that allows users to access information (papers, documents, photos, videos, audio recordings on behaviour, ecology and conservation) on every known species of lemur in Madagascar. Enjoy ;) Madagascar Lemurs Portal

This is a bit of a thought experiment that I'd like to try out on this forum. The ring tailed lemur is one of the most ubiquitious animals kept ex-situ by many zoos worldwide and has become one of those standard "ABC species" to be seen at the local zoo. It is obviously a very popular animal...

The primates in peril report "25 Most Critically Endangered Primates on the Planet" is a report by the IUCN that is compiled every two years which as the name suggests documents the primate species that are most threatened by extinction. I want to create a series of polls where zoochatters can...

Does anyone know zoos where lemurs are kept within the region ? What species are kept and how many individuals ? What are the enclosures like and are they adequate ? Muchas Gracias / Obrigado / Thank you

What are your favourite lemur species and why ? Curious to hear your replies.

New research on the susceptibility of lemurs to COVID-19 is detailed in one of todays mongabay articles. Endangered and endemic: Madagascar’s lemurs susceptible to coronavirus infection

I know a lot of zoochatters don't like it when a theme park is mixed with a zoo. But these types of things get lots of visitors, so I made an intresting fantasy one: Lemurland would be a large amusement park with a Madagascar theme. It would be located somewhere with a warm climate. When you...

Some species of Lemur. The day I went, the guests were especially insufferable; they made so much noise that all the lemurs just hid in the trees! >:C

Ring-tailed and black and white ruffed lemurs.
