A group of red ruffed lemurs has arrived at the North Florida Wildlife Center.
The North Florida Wildlife Center has a colorful new addition: red ruffed lemurs are now part of the facility's animal family, according to a late-July 2026 report.
Red ruffed lemurs are among the larger lemur species and are native to the rainforests of Madagascar, where they are classified as critically endangered. Their presence at a North Florida wildlife facility shines a spotlight on conservation efforts closer to home.
The arrival was reported by WCTV.
