Zoo Erfurt Reveals Long-Held Secrets

Sunny Seasons Call for Zoo Excursions

As the milder seasons begin to unfold, a trip to Erfurt's zoo becomes a popular choice for many. Not just because the weather improves, but also because it's the prime time to catch a glimpse of the latest additions to the zoo's family.

Erfurt Zoo: The Heart of Lemurland

Lemurs, the small, adorable primates known for their mask-like faces, ringed tails, and pop culture fame thanks to "Madagascar," are a main attraction at Erfurt Zoo, particularly in the Lemur Forest, home to the Kattas. And right now, the keepers are buzzing with excitement!

Awakening Erfurt, One Birth at a Time

In the heart of Erfurt Zoo, the Lemur Forest hums with new life. Recently, Kattas, the lemur lovingly known as Kalima, welcomed a male-female pair of twins on June 4th, as the animal keepers reported to Thüringen24.

The Double Delight of the Lemur Forest

Surprisingly, this isn't the first time Kalima has graced the Lemur Forest with her parenting skills. Just a few months ago, in April 2023, Kalima brought another Kattas into the world, even gracing zoogoers with the sight of the birth in the walk-through outdoor enclosure.

Infancy in the Lemur Forest

When a young Kattas is born, it stays close to its mother for the first few weeks. After this period, the young become bolder and begin exploring their surroundings, often following their mother on her daily adventures. It's a magical time as the young Kattas slowly expand their territory and venture out on exciting exploration tours.

If you're eager to witness these new additions to the Lemur Forest, keep an eye on the Erfurt Zoo's official website or contact them directly to learn when these cute, energetic twins will be available for viewings.

Diving deeper into Erfurt Zoo's enchanting Lemur Forest, the home-and-garden of these charming primates, is an exciting lifestyle choice for pet lovers this season. Among the different inhabitants, the lively Kattas are a must-see, with recent additions to their family adding to the delight. From the latest arrival of a male-female pair of twins to Kalima, the mother Katta whose parenting skills have been winning hearts since April 2023, these pets are worth witnessing during your next zoo excursion.
