Lemur: The Agile Acrobat of the Zoo

Lemurs, native to Madagascar, are housed in zoo habitats that replicate their forest homes, complete with climbing structures, ropes, and dense foliage. These lively primates thrive in social groups, and zookeepers carefully monitor their interactions to maintain a harmonious troop.

Their diet includes fresh fruits, vegetables, and insects, designed to provide a balance of nutrients. Behavioral enrichment is key, with activities like hidden food puzzles or hanging feeders to keep the lemurs mentally and physically active. Zoos also play a crucial role in conserving lemurs, raising awareness about deforestation and supporting breeding programs to protect these endangered animals.
