peaceful moments in the warmth of the sun in his behind-the-scenes outdoor enclosure. Uly was the father of six & has one great-grandson. He was known as an excellent & patient father. Uly called our zoo home for 23 years. He will be greatly missed by his Tulsa Zoo family.

Happy World Lemur Day! 🌺🌺🌺 Native to Madagascar, black-and-white ruffed lemurs are important pollinators, helping flowering plants reproduce as they feed on nectar and carry pollen between flowers. Our primate keepers put together some themed enrichment for our lemurs today!
