These guys are classed as "endangered", it's the second time I've seen one on this road so I'm gonna ask the township to put a turtles crossing sign up.

@thetorontozoo.bsky.social has a breeding program for these guys & you should definitely visit & see the babies, they are SO cute 😍

There, they learned about the plight of lemurs as well as the importance of their tree-top habitats in the #Madagascar forests 🌳

Did you know? Sumatran orangutans, listed as critically endangered through the IUCN, can ride on their mother's back for up to two and a half years and aren't usually independent until the age of four. They will reach full physical and social maturity at around 13.

Did someone say it’s almost April? 🧡🦧

As critically endangered Sumatran orangutan Wali approaches his 3rd birthday on April 8, he continues to grow and gain more independence under the watchful eye of second-time Mom, Sekali.
