Crowned lemur

The smallest species of lemur in the park, but also one of the fastest.
The incredible surface area given over to them in the park (1 hectare) corresponds to half their home range in the wild…
Both males and females have a crown of orange hairs around their face. In the male, the crown is a full circle with a brown coat, while in the female, it’s more like a half-crown, against a background of gray fur. The crowned lemur has been the subject of a breeding program since 1996.
