Tayto Park welcomes birth of two sets of twin lemurs

It was double trouble in Tayto Park as two sets of twin lemurs were born earlier this month.

The adorable ring-tailed lemurs were born throughout March, adding to the growing conspiracy in the busy theme park.

The first set of twin lemurs were born to Dolly on the  March 5, with a second baby lemur born a week after to mum Charlie.

But that wasn't all, as another set of lemur twins arrived last week to mother Diana.

All mums and new births are doing well and are settling into their new home.

And the zookeepers are looking for help naming the adorable new additions over on their Facebook and Instagram pages - with the winner getting a family pass to Tayto Park.

Park and Zoo Manager Lee Donohoe said: "We’re delighted to welcome our latest lemur arrivals to the Tayto Park zoo.

"Both the new arrivals and their mums are doing very well and we’re already seeing some of their cheeky, playful traits.

"The birth of any species at the park is always exciting but even more so when they have such conservation importance.

"The new arrivals will settle into their new home ‘Lemur Woods’, Ireland’s largest lemur walkthrough which opened last year giving visitors an immersive experience with this incredible endangered species."
