Lemurs in Latin American zoos

Yes, the website leaves a lot to be desired, they have species listed that haven't been in the zoo for over a decade or more.

Yes, the specimen is very faded and not in the best condition so it technically could have been a white headed but looked very much like a crowned to me.

 

Do you have any pictures of it?

 

Unfortunately not , but it is kept in the zoos natural history museum and is on prominent display in the front windows of the building.

 

The Mundo Marino (San Clemente del Tuyú, Argentina) has some ring-tailed lemurs.

 

Parque Zoológico Nacional de Aurora, Guatemala have recently acquired Black-and-white Ruffed Lemurs: Parque Zoológico Nacional La Aurora

 

Do you know where these came from ?

 

No idea unfortunately. One of the articles below mentions that their arrival marks the opening of a new area called Mundo Escondido/ Hidden World. It centres around two island habitats for the ruffed lemurs and another mixed exhibit for tapir, howler monkeys and capybara. It's a large renovated space with several aviaries themed around coastal and tropical regions. I am sure there are other animals involved in this new area as well.

Some articles about the new complex can be seen in the links below:
