Happy 9th birthday Sava!🎉

Since all of our lemurs were born in May, we figured we’d go all out! The keepers set up Madagascar themed birthday enrichment. We chose the movie Madagascar because all lemurs are from that island. Their cinematic universe even includes a red ruffed lemur named Kevin!

Happy 37th Birthday MaeBelle!🥳🥳

In the wild chimpanzees only live to be about 30-40. But specialized care in human care allows them to live up to 60 years old! Chimps in human care play a large role in conservation, while efforts are still being made to aid wild populations.
