Black & White Ruffed Lemurs:
In April, PECO Primate Reserve welcomed new youngsters, a litter of two black-and-white ruffed lemurs born to 13-year-old mother Kiaka. Father Huey was himself born here at the Zoo 14 years ago. The twins, named Mikey and Olivia, live with mom and dad as well as older
brothers Connor and Lucas, born in 2019, and Bob born in 2018. The whole group can frequently be seen bounding through Zoo360, although the new youngsters are not quite ready for that. Black-and-white-ruffed lemurs are listed by IUCN as Critically Endangered in their native home in the tropical rainforests of eastern Madagascar.
