Lemurs try out the monkey bars
Custom-made climbing frame to celebrate launch of Hullabazoo
As ZSL Whipsnade Zoo prepares to launch its brand new adventure play area, the lemurs are getting in on the action – with their very own climbing frame.
Twins Billy and Taffy, along with the rest of the group, are having a mini version of the play park installed in their enclosure, complete with tiny towers, a slide and a bridge, to celebrate the opening of Hullabazoo Adventure Play on Saturday (May 25).
Not only will the climbing frame provide part of the ring-tailed lemurs’ enrichment activities, stimulating their natural curiosity, it will also keep the group active.
Keeper Hayley Jakeman said: “As our lemurs are very inquisitive by nature and love investigating new things, we’re expecting them to give the thumbs up to their tiny climbing frame.
“Play is a really important part of the lemurs’ social interaction and provides good exercise for them so creating a climbing frame is a fantastic enrichment activity.”
Hullabazoo Adventure Play has been designed around animal movement and opens to the public on Saturday, just in time for the half term holidays.
