Couple of lemurs went through quarantine and is now in permanent space. Julien and Pandora are of the ring-tailed lemur species and came from the Itatiba Zoo, in São Paulo, in April. Lemurs can be visited at the Brasília Zoo A couple of lemurs – endangered animals that inspired characters from the animation Madagascar – can now be visited at the Brasília Zoo. This Monday (12), Julien and Pandora were given a permanent enclosure (see video above). They arrived in the Federal District on April 24th, coming from the Itatiba Zoo, in São Paulo. After 49 days in isolation, from this Tuesday (13) they can be seen by the public. Endangered lemurs, which inspired a character in the film Madagascar, can be visited at the Zoo of Brasília Caio Cavalcante The space reserved for them, in addition to vegetation, has branches and ropes for them to move. The couple is a species of ring-tailed lemur, which depends on efforts in captivity to not disappear. While they were in São Paulo, Julien and Pandora gave birth to six puppies, but Pandora had to be spayed during a risky pregnancy. The expectation is that the Brasília Zoo will receive another female that can reproduce with Julien.
