European Ex-situ Programme (EEP)

With its white and black tail, it is the best known of the lemurs.

The Lemurs meet in groups of 3 to 20 individuals in which the females dominate. Spring is the season of love. After 4 months of gestation, the mother gives birth to 1 or 2 young which are first attached to the mother's chest before passing on her back. She breastfeeds them for 4 to 5 months. At 2 or 3 years old, the young are of an age to reproduce in turn. They live between 15 and 20 years.
