A Pair of Critically Endangered Alakkkori Fox Lemurs Born at Uchi Zoo

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] A pair of critically endangered wild animals, the ring-tailed lemurs, were born at Uchi Zoo.

According to Uchi Zoo on the 25th, the pair of ring-tailed lemurs born in March were revealed to the public after two months. This is the first time at Uchi Zoo.

The ring-tailed lemur, which has multiple black striped rings on its long tail, is also called the tiger-tailed lemur and is an endemic species found only on the large island of Madagascar next to the African continent.

It has also been depicted as the representative guardian animal of that island in the movie "Madagascar." It is fascinating to see the group gather in the morning, simultaneously spreading their arms and sunbathing toward the sun.

This species has a gentle temperament, unique curiosity and sociability, and an attractive appearance. Due to indiscriminate poaching at one time, it is currently classified as a critically endangered species and is protected worldwide.

Im Jin-taek, director of Uchi Zoo, said, “Taking this lemur birth as an opportunity, Uchi Zoo plans to actively introduce and conserve endangered species that are becoming extinct in nature, and will continue efforts together with other zoos.”
