Their mission is to raise awareness on threatened and endangered species through their fun and contemporary apparel. Did you know that they are more closely related to lemurs than they are to monkeys? Even though they look a bit more like a primate!

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay welcomed two endangered baby red-ruffed lemurs on April 21. The babies are the first lemurs to be born at Jambo Junction, home to the parks’ animal ambassadors, since Maditra and Bozeny arrived as babies three years ago.
