The babies which have been named Avelo, Sava, Bean and Rambo by their keepers, are now starting to develop their independence and don’t ride on their mother’s backs anymore.
They still follow their mothers around staying close by their side.
The babies are now almost weaned and are eating fruits such as banana but are partial corn.
Keepers have observed the young babies starting to display behaviours similar to the adults such as scent marking and climbing and this will continue to develop in the coming months.
Keepers are introducing the two mothers and their babies all together followed by their aunty and another male Ring-tailed Lemur.
The Ring-tailed Lemur babies will be on display on the island near the breeding facility from 12pm – 2pm daily during the NSW school holidays.
The babies are sure to be very curious and explore their new surroundings during this time.
