How can we resist the adorable face of our Red-ruffed Lemur (Varecia rubra) twins born about three weeks ago?
Their mother is a very experienced female: this is her 5th litter since 2014. In total she already gave birth to a dozen of infants among which two sets of triplets in 2017 and 2018.
Many species that live in our country are producing young in Spring. It is also at this time of year that the Ring-tailed Lemurs (Lemur catta) housed in European zoos give birth to their babies, in contrast to Madagascar where the seasons are reversed and females give birth in fall.
The zoo recently recorded its 27th giraffe birth, a female. The calf is named Juliette and is doing well.
Tibe, a 20 years-old female Central chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) has just arrived from Barcelona Zoo. This transfer, recommended by the Central chimpanzee EEP, will allow to introduce this breeding female to our group which currently composed of 6 individuals: 3 males (including 2 juveniles) and 3 adult females.
