Zoo welcomes rare lemur quadruplets | SWNS

A wildlife charity in Devon, England, UK, is celebrating the rare birth of four critically endangered red-ruffed lemurs, with the quadruplets arriving on May 4 to parents Eka and Nero. Shaldon Wildlife Trust said quadruplet births occur in fewer than 6% of cases worldwide, making the arrival a significant boost for the species' European conservation breeding program. The newborn lemurs are part of an international effort to protect red-ruffed lemurs, which are native to Madagascar and face threats from habitat loss, logging and hunting. Conservationists hailed the birth as a major success for the endangered species and a proud achievement for the small wildlife park. ------------------------------ Please subscribe for daily viral videos and check out all our social channels here: https://linktr.ee/swns To license this video for editorial or commercial use please contact [email protected]
