Born in May to parents Bryan and Jupiter, Europa joined her older brother in carrying on the family’s celestial tradition; both siblings are named after moons of Jupiter.
Odessa, the Zoo’s newest mongoose lemur, was born in April to parents Olivia and Ignacio.
“While Europa and Odessa are still growing and spending time behind the scenes with their moms, we can’t wait to share more updates as they get bigger!” the Zoo wrote in a social media post.
The zoo’s Primate Forest exhibit, which features a 40-foot Kapok Tree, is home to a variety of primate species, including: Bonobo, Angolan Colobus, Guereza Colobus, Western Lowland Gorilla, Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur, Ring-tailed Lemur, Sifaka Lemur, Crowned Lemur, Blue-Eyed-Black Lemur and Mandrill.
