Lemur island is open from 10am-4pm during our operating hours. | Philadelphia Zoo | Facebook

Mongoose lemurs have striking bright orange eyes that face forward for better depth perception when foraging and moving about the treetops of Madagascar. The easiest way to tell males and females apart is by their beard color! | Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens

Meet our new dwarf mongoose pups 🥰 The three babies were born in May and are growing up fast! They're now learning to be more independent and are starting to explore their habitat and play. Guests can spot them and the 10 other members of our dwarf mongoose family in the River's Edge area of the Zoo now. The dwarf mongoose is the smallest carnivore in Africa, with adults weighing in at only about one pound. They live in large family groups and are matrilineal, meaning females are dominant. List
