“Twin ring-tailed lemurs born at Chester zoo…
The twins are 15cm (6in) tall and weigh just a few hundred grams, described as being ‘no bigger than tennis balls with [‘iconic black and white’] tails’.”
—The Guardian

This week, two ring-tailed lemurs
Were born in Chester Zoo.
Two tiny, two-tone screamers
This week, two ring-tailed lemurs,
With less than four-inch femurs,
Were born. You ask what’s new
This week? Two ring-tailed lemurs
Were born in Chester Zoo.
