Looks like Halloween is for the birds after all! 😉

Happy World Lemur Day from Harp and Bruce, the ring-tailed lemurs! 🌿

As an endangered species, ring-tailed lemurs face ongoing threats in the wild, including habitat loss and hunting. Here at the Zoo, Harp and Bruce serve as ambassadors for their species, helping guests better understand why protecting animals like them, and the places they call home, matters.

🤔 Want to learn more about lemurs? Stop by the lemur habitat tomorrow, October 31, between 10am and 2pm to visit with our Education Team!

We will have a table set up with fun facts, craft activities, and opportunities to learn more about these fascinating primates and the importance of protecting them in the wild.

We hope you'll stop by and celebrate World Lemur Day with us! 🧡

Tao and Riang spent the day soaking up the sunshine before the cloudy weekend! ☀️

With Halloween just around the corner, these two are helping us share an important reminder: the treats you choose can make a difference for orangutans in the wild! 🎃🍬

Did you know that palm oil is found in many popular Halloween candies? 🌴Unfortunately, when palm oil is produced unsustainably, rainforests are cleared to make room for plantations, destroying critical habitat for wild orangutans.

By choosing treats from companies committed to using certified sustainable palm oil, you can support more responsible production practices that help protect orangutans and their rainforest homes.

🍫 Some familiar favorites from companies with sustainable palm oil commitments include Reese's, M&M's, Snickers, Twizzlers, and Starburst!

Want to see if your favorite treats are orangutan-friendly? 📱

Download the FREE PalmOil Scan app from Cheyenne Mountain Zoo! Simply scan products while you shop to learn more about the companies behind them and their commitments to sustainable palm oil.

Let's make this Halloween a little sweeter for orangutans! 🧡

Finn is slowly but surely getting more comfortable in his new space! He's been taking his time exploring his outdoor habitat, checking out his surroundings, and settling in at his own pace. 🐾🐅

Have you spotted him during your recent visits? 👀

Riang has some serious business to discuss. 🤌🦧

With Halloween just around the corner, we think she could pull off a pretty convincing mob boss costume, but we'll let YOU decide. 😅👇 What do you think Riang most resembles for Halloween?
