Leisure time - Rare lemur species moves to Cologne Zoo
Cologne Zoo has celebrated the 50th birthday of its Madagascar House with two specimens of a rare lemur species as new residents. As the zoo announced on Wednesday, two mongoose lemurs moved into the house. The five-year-old female Emena and the 26-year-old male Newton came to Cologne from Tierpark Berlin at the beginning of November.
Mongoose lemurs are a primate species from the lemur family and live in northern Madagascar and the Comoros. According to the zoo, they can live up to 35 years in captivity. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies the animals as "critically endangered" in the wild.
Cologne Zoo opened its Madagascar House on December 13, 1973, when it was still known as the Lemur House.
