Pinnawala Zoo 🌿
-
Shhh... have you seen the shy, magical gaze of our nocturnal wonder? 🌙✨

Say hello to the LORIS, one of Sri Lanka's most adorable and mysterious native primates! Those huge, round eyes aren't just for cuteness—they help it see perfectly in the dark as it moves silently through the trees.

🔍 Meet Sri Lanka's Loris:

Slow and Steady: They are slow, deliberate climbers, making them fascinating to watch.

Big Eyes, Bigger World: Their enormous eyes give them excellent night vision.

A Unique Native: They are found only in the forests of Sri Lanka and Southern India, making them a special treasure!

⚠️ They need our protection. Sadly, the Loris is endangered due to habitat loss and the illegal pet trade. Their innocent appearance makes them a target, but they are wild animals that belong in the forest, not in captivity.

At Pinnawala Zoo, we provide a safe and natural habitat for these vulnerable creatures as part of our vital conservation work.

👉 Visit us and see if you can spot this elusive, gentle resident! Remember to be quiet—they appreciate the peace.
Share this post to help us raise awareness for the protection of the beautiful Loris!

-Discover the Wonders of Madagascar at Pinnawala!-

Did you know you can journey to the island of Madagascar right here in Sri Lanka? Meet our charismatic lemurs! These fascinating primates are not monkeys; they are prosimians, a more ancient branch of the primate family tree.

Their scientific name, Lemur catta (for Ring-tailed Lemurs), comes from Latin, meaning "ghost" – a name given for their haunting calls and nocturnal habits. Sadly, these incredible creatures are now the world's most endangered group of mammals, with over 98% of species threatened with extinction, primarily due to habitat loss in their native Madagascar.

That’s why the work we do at Pinnawala Zoo is so vital! We are passionately committed to the ex-situ conservation of these remarkable animals. This means we care for them in a protected environment to ensure a safety-net population for their species.

A key part of this care is our Enrichment Programme! Our dedicated keepers provide:
🍎 Dietary Enrichment: Puzzle feeders and hidden treats to stimulate natural foraging behaviours.
🛝 Physical Enrichment: Climbing structures, ropes, and platforms to encourage exercise and natural movement.
🧠 Sensory Enrichment: Introducing new smells and sounds to keep our lemurs curious and engaged.

These programmes are essential for their physical health and mental well-being, helping them exhibit their natural behaviours and thrive.

Come visit us to learn more about these "ghosts" of the forest and see our enrichment activities in action! Your visit supports our crucial conservation work.
