Endangered Lemurs need more bamboo
14:40, 19 April 2005
KEEPERS at Port Lympne are in need of help to feed a pair of their rarest animals.
Port Lympne Wild Animal Park recently became home to two broad-nosed lemurs. These primates have just been listed in the top 25 most critically endangered animals in the world, with only 300 left.
The park has launched an appeal because the animals are eating them out of bamboo.
They are found in and around the Ranomafana National Park of South Eastern Madagascar and eat large quantities of bamboo.
If you can help with supplies contact the park on 01303 264647.
