Como Zoo welcomed a new blue-eyed black lemur into the collection this week and he is a big hit with exhibit mate Thurman. Thurman has been alone for several months after her previous mate passed away and while zoo staff waited for word from the lemur SSP (species survival plan) on who she was recommended to breed with. Eugene is 15 years old and came from the Oakland Zoo. Tuesday was his first day on exhibit and introductions between the two have gone very well. They are interested in each other and appear to be a compatible pair.
The lemurs are on display daily in the Primate Building. You can most often find them curled up in a ball together as seen in the picture.
