Several lemurs finding new homes at Minsk Zoo this winter, after the pretty tailed primates are transported from Jerusalem

Last year, lion-tailed macaques arrived from Tel Aviv Zoo in sunny Israel, settling in Minsk. Now, more fluffy animals are to come from the Czech Republic. According to Minsk Zoo junior research officer Tatiana Ilyasova-Kononova, the friendly Minsk family is gaining a sloth, and a white bear should arrive in future.

The zoo is currently constructing an open enclosure for northern sea-mammals such as the white bear, seals and walruses, joined by penguins and a hornbill. Over 2,500 animals live at Minsk’s Zoo at present.
