A baby lemur — and a live window into their world
Our first story begins with tiny hands holding on tight — and a plan to let you watch over them from anywhere.
There’s a new pair of eyes on the hillside — small, wide, and holding on tight.
A baby lemur has arrived at Perthshire Zoo. We’ll keep the details for the little one’s own moment — the name, the first photos, the first wobbly climb. What we can tell you now is why this arrival matters so much.
Lemurs are among the most threatened primates on Earth. Here on our hillside we care for black-and-white ruffed lemurs — critically endangered — and white-fronted brown lemurs, whose forest home in Madagascar is disappearing fast. Every arrival is a small vote for their future, and a new reason for a family standing on a Perthshire hillside to fall for a species most people will never see in the wild.
A window into their world
Alongside this story, we’re building something new: a live lemur cam, streaming right here on this page.
When it goes live, you’ll be able to look in on the family any time — morning feeds, quiet afternoons, and all the small dramas of lemur life — from anywhere in the world.
Sign up for updates below and we’ll tell you the moment the cam is live.
Watching is caring
The cam will be free to watch, always. If it makes you smile, remember what your support does here: it funds the keepers, the habitats and the conservation work that keeps these species with us.
