Baby Alaotran gentle lemur, Raiky, enjoys a piggy-back ride on older brother, Tsingy, at Chessington World of Adventures Resort. The youngster is one of the two baby lemurs born recently at the zoo.
Mark Boardman, zoo manager, says: With only an estimated 2,500 left in the wild, Alaotran gentle lemurs are a critically endangered species and their population is ever decreasing. At Chessington we are committed to ensuring their prolonged existence.
