Arrival of 1.1 Ring-tailed Lemurs from Milwaukee Zoo.
Como Park Zoo & Conservatory on Instagram: " Please join us in welcoming two new residents to Como Zoo! Meet Ombe (short for Ombelahy), a 13-year-old male, and Wicket, a 7-year-old female ring-tailed lemur who recently arrived from the @milwaukeecozoo in June. After completing their quarantine, Ombe and Wicket are now exploring our indoor lemur habitat at their own pace. In the coming months, they’ll be gradually introduced to our pair of blue-eyed black lemurs once they’re comfortable with shifting on and off habitat and with their new surroundings. Ring-tailed lemurs are part of the Species Survival Program (SSP), which helps ensure healthy, genetically diverse populations in zoos. They’re also among the most vocal primates—using at least 28 different calls to communicate with their troop, from friendly chatter to alarm calls that warn of potential danger. Stop by the indoor habitat to see if you can spot Ombe and Wicket settling into their new Como home—we’re so excited to have them here! #ComoZoo #MySaintPaul #OnlyInMN"
