Lincoln Park Zoo’s latest crowning glory is a crowned lemur infant, born on April 15 at Helen Brach Primate House.

The lemur infant joins mother (Tucker), father (Sokkwi, pronounced so-kwee) and older siblings Lenny (male) and Volana (female) who all reside at the zoo. The sex and measurements of the infant are yet to be determined, as Tucker is keeping the newborn close. The dam and sire were recommended to breed as a part of the Crowned Lemur Species Survival Plan ® (SSP), which cooperatively manages threatened or endangered species within the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), through the Population Management Center at Lincoln Park Zoo. This is the fourth crowned lemur birth at Lincoln Park Zoo.
