(We were tempted to suggest Irish-themed names as a reference to their St. Patrick’s Day birthdate, but then we remembered that lemurs are native to Madagascar — far, indeed, from the Emerald Isle — so we will respectfully refrain.)<\/p>\n Ring-tailed lemurs, like most of their lemur cousins, are endangered — in large part due to deforestation but also because, in some parts of Madagascar, they’re considered bad luck and are often killed by villagers as a result. In other parts of the country, they’re sometimes hunted for their meat. The troubles facing Madagascar’s lemurs are compounded by political upheaval<\/a>. All of this means, of course, that any ring-tailed-lemur birth is great news for the species.<\/p>\n See more photos of the baby lemurs and their mother after the jump!
