Support Wildlife
Help Us Name Our Littlest Lemurs
On April 6, 2025, three Critically Endangered black-and-white ruffed lemur pups were born at the zoo—the second successful litter for parents Eny and Menabe, and just the second, third, and fourth of their species to be born here since 1987!
At nearly three months old, it’s high swinging time that we give our beloved trio names—and we’re asking for your help! This naming opportunity is open to everyone who donates as a thank you for supporting wildlife conservation.
