On 31st October 2009, we celebrated the birth of three black and white ruffed lemur babies, born to mother Falon and father Lucky.  The babies - one male named Ikala and two females named Setra and Masina - have recently been moved into the rainforest exhibit, so are now on display for you to visit!

"The black and white ruffed lemur is hunted for its meat and fur, and deforestation has meant it has lost much of its habitat," said Hamilton Zoo Director, Stephen Standley.

"Therefore our new trio is a great addition to our regional breeding programme for this critically endangered species."
