Ring tailed Lemurs
These photos were taken in June this year when a pair of lemurs had twins, named Ronnie & Corbett.
The twins were clinging to their mother's back whilst foraging for food. Dad was also around and he would go to join his family and check them out. I do find the little lemurs adorable with their big chestnut coloured eyes and their little ringed tails like mum and dad. I find it amazing how the twins stay on mum's back especially when she is chewing the grass - the twins never fell off her back. At one stage one of the twins fell asleep by mum's head and was still clinging to mother.The red ball you see in some of the photos has food inside for the lemurs to find as part of their enrichment programme.
