Primate conservationists at Chester Zoo are celebrating the birth of a critically endangered Coquerel’s sifaka – also known as a ‘dancing lemur’.
The tiny baby has arrived to parents Beatrice (12) and Elliot (12), bringing an end to a five-month pregnancy.
Born with thick fuzzy white fur and weighing approximately 100 grams, the precious youngster is only around the same size as a tennis ball!
Dr Nick Davis, Mammals General Manager at Chester Zoo, said: “Every Coquerel’s sifaka birth is a huge cause for celebration. There are very few remaining globally and every addition within the European conservation breeding programme is vital to the work we’re doing to safeguard the future of this species.
“The new baby has spent the first vital few weeks of life quietly bonding with mum, Beatrice, and we’re very happy to report that they’re both doing great so far. We’re seeing positive signs – they’ve been inseparable so far.”
First images released by zookeepers show mum Beatrice carefully cradling her new baby as it clings to her belly.
Dr Nick, added: “What’s really special though, is that the new arrival is joining a small family made up mum, dad and they’re previous baby, Sofia. They’re currently the only Coquerel’s sifaka currently being cared for in the UK and the knowledge, skills and expertise our primate conservationists are developing will help to play an important role in protecting these precious primates."
Unlike other species of lemur, sifakas stand perfectly upright and use their powerful legs to spring side to side along the forest floor, which has resulted in the animals being nicknamed the ‘dancing lemur’.
Chester is the only zoo in the UK, and one of just three in Europe, to care for Coquerel’s sifakas, having worked with the Duke Lemur Centre in America to establish a conservation breeding programme across the continent that? *** Local Caption *** 47057398

Primatologist Alison Richard: Madagascar is a floating evolutionary laboratory
Alison Richard photographed in her garden at her home in London.
The Yale professor talks about her lifelong conservation work in Madagascar, the extinction of its megafauna – and her ‘wimp hypothesis’ of natural selection.
The British primatologist, conservationist and a former vice-chancellor of Cambridge, Dame Alison Richard, has immersed herself in research and conservation projects there since the early 1970s.
