The relaxing life of Lemurs - Parc des Felins (Lumigny-Nesles-Ormeaux/FR)

The relaxing life of Lemurs.

.

I's very nice to watch the large lemur population in the park. Many lemur species are represented, including the ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta), the red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra), the crowned lemur (Eulemur coronatus), and the red-bellied lemur (Eulemur rubriventer). These lemurs roam freely about the park, and occasionally interact with visitors.

Parc des Felins

Parc des Félins (Est. 2006) is a zoological park in France dedicated to the breeding and conservation of wild members of the cat family. It is located in the commune of Lumigny-Nesles-Ormeaux in Seine-et-Marne. The park covers an area of 60 hectares (150 acres). It's a unique Zoo because it's without cages, the parc uses enclosures only that provide a near natural habitat for the animals. For example, the African cheetahs have an enclosure with enough space for them to run.

 

The park is divided into four large sections with various enclosures: European, African, American and Asian. Of the 41 recognized species of felines in the world, the park has 30 different species and subspecies, with a total of 140 cats. This includes species like cheetahs, lions, Servals, wild cats, leopards, Caracals, white lions, black panthers, a Katanga lion, jaguars, Ocelots, margays, Geoffroy's cats, Oncillas, pumas and bobcats. The jaguarundis which are very rare in European zoos. Most recent addition are black footed cats.

 

In addition to the felids, there is a large lemur population in the park. Many lemur species are represented, including the ring-tailed lemur, the red ruffed lemur, the crowned lemur and the red-bellied lemur. Many of the lemurs roam freely about the park, and occasionally interact with visitors.
