Three new Bermuda residents — a trio of ring-tailed lemurs — are getting used to their home inside the Madagascar Exhibit at Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo.The Zoo’s free-flight, walk-through exhibit will be temporarily closed to the public until early June while the lemurs settles into their new surroundings.“We are delighted to add these fascinating creatures to this world-class exhibit so that our visitors, particularly students and children, can see and learn about the endangered animals of Madagascar and other threatened islands,” says Dr Ian Walker, BAMZ Principal Curator.“We ask people to be patient while these animals get comfortable inside the exhibit before it is re-opened to visitors.”The lemurs — a male called Elmer and two unrelated sisters, Petunia and Penelope —c ame from Sacramento Zoo in California, where they had lived together as a family unit. “They are very comfortable around people,” says Dr Walker, adding there are no plans to breed the lemurs.Madagascar: Land of Mystery and Wonder opened last November—the first large new exhibit in a decade at BAMZ, underscoring the facility’s mission “to inspire appreciation and care of island environments.”It was funded by lead sponsor HSBC in partnership with the Bermuda Government, Bermuda Zoological Society (BZS), the Department of Conservation Services, plus corporate and private donors.BZS is the support charity for Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo, funding a full slate of education programmes, conservation and research projects, exhibits and community outreach events. BAMZ is a Bermuda government institution within the Department of Conservation Services.
