~ Residents of San Jose, California have the unique opportunity to help name two male red-ruffed lemur pups born at Happy Hollow Park & Zoo on Friday, May 19. The two pups are the first of their critically endangered species to be born at the zoo in 14 years.
The red-ruffed lemurs are named for the rusty-colored tufts of hair lining their ears and faces. They are native to a small area of northeast Madagascar, where they inhabit tropical, moist lowland forest. Unfortunately, their natural habitat is threatened by habitat loss, wildlife trafficking, and climate change.
Amber Rindy, Happy Hollow Zoo Manager said "The birth of these pups is critical to both the survival of the red-ruffed lemur species and educating the public about their story. Nothing is more inspirational than seeing an endangered animal up close and making a connection. Our visitors will leave Happy Hollow inspired to take action to help the species and protect the world around them."

The community is invited to participate in naming the Zoo's newest additions by voting on six prospective names with special meanings in Malagasy, the national language of Madagascar: Záza (Meaning: kid), Fiti (Meaning: love), Fiaro (Meaning: that which protects), Maharo (Meaning: protect/defend), Toky (Meaning: confidence), Noro (Meaning: light/source of life). Voting closes on Monday August 28th and winners will be announced on Wednesday August 30th.
The two lemur pups live as a family unit at Happy Hollow with their mom Ally and dad Razoky as they would naturally if they lived in the wild. Razoky's mom Meva lives in a neighboring habitat. In addition to providing outdoor play since 1961, Happy Hollow Park & Zoo has been continuously accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums for over 30 years and participates in Species Survival Plan programs to safeguard animals like red-ruffed lemurs against extinction.
Happy Hollow Park & Zoo is open from 10am - 5pm seven days a week for guests who wish to catch a glimpse of these special pups in their habitat on 'Zoo Hill'.
