Leaping lemurs!
The red-ruffed lemurs like to jump, play and enjoy a snack of some of their favorite fruits.
Due to a combination of habitat loss, hunting and the illegal pet trade, lemurs are one of the most endangered mammal groups in the world. The lemurs at the Oregon Zoo are part of a Species Survival Plan, a cooperative program that helps guarantee the long-term future of animals. These SSPs also help prevent animal endangerment and extinction.
