Lemurs are primates which are found only on the island of Madagascar off the East coast of Africa.
They have become endangered due to the loss of their habitat. There are about 23 different species of lemurs found on Madagascar. There is a male and a female black and white ruffed lemur at Micke Grove Zoo. They share their island exhibit with 2 male brown lemurs and a heron. The SSP is a commitment by zoos in North America to a plan of action to help save certain endangered species.
