The Philadelphia Zoo unveiled a new home for its lemurs Thursday.
While catching a ride on Swan Boats, visitors to the zoo will get a glimpse
of Lemur Island, the new home of the zoo's black
and white-ruffed lemurs.
The new habitat is modeled after the natural home of the lemurs, the island of Madagascar.
"It's exciting to see the lemurs explore to the tops of the trees and
the edges of the shoreline," said lemur keeper, Desiree Haneman.
Lemur Island is not only a home for the
lemurs, but it is also houses the 'Rainforest Adventure Maze,' featuring
educational information on lemurs and the dangers they face in the wild.
The Rainforest Adventure Maze and Lemur
Island will remain open
until Labor Day.
