Baby lemur at France Zoo

According to AFP, Every year there are about 250 to 350 births at the Mulhouse zoo in France. Some young animals, once weaned, can be introduced in protected zones of their original region. If not, they go to other zoos to make up other families. Genetic mixing is necessary for the animals' health and the survival of the species.
