This Howloween, our lemurs are taking centre stage!
With their piercing eyes, echoing calls, and ghostly leaps through the trees, it's no wonder legends once called them "spirits of the night."
Join us on Friday 31st October for Lemur Day, a celebration of these mysterious creatures. Expect fascinating facts, themed activities, and a chance to see our lemurs like never before.
