@abc7chicago: A red ruffed lemur living at Milwaukee County Zoo inspected a camera set up in its habitat, footage shared on Oct. 6 shows. ⠀ Red ruffed lemurs are listed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) due to deforestation as well as hunting and poaching for the illegal pet trade. ⠀ “You can help protect lemurs by not sharing, liking, or commenting on posts where primates look like pets,” the zoo said on X. ⠀ According to Milwaukee County Zoo’s website, red ruffed lemurs are native to Madagascar, are the world’s largest lemurs, and typically live in female-dominated family groups of two to 16 animals. #news #lemur #zoo #milwaukee #wisconsin
