The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Bright Eyed and Bushy Tailed

Posted in , , ,

In June the Bronx Zoo welcomed a happy and healthy baby Coquerel's Sifaka Lemur and these pictures were taken in July. Sifakas get their name from their unmistakable "shih-fak" alarm call which starts as a low growl and ends with a loud and abrupt "fak" that can be described as a shrill hiccup.

    Great pictures. What a beautiful and at the same time goofy-looking creature.
