The species only breed once a year, said Wildlife Reserves Singapore in a statement.

"On top of this, females are only fertile for one out of the few days they are sexually receptive, making this twin birth particularly special," it said.

The twins only started to meet visitors this month as the zoo was closed due to a coronavirus lockdown.

Native to the north-eastern part of Madagascar, red ruffed lemurs are a sister species to the black and white ruffed lemurs.



Another extremely popular lemur that movie buffs may instantly recognise is King Julian, the notorious ringtailed lemur in the Madagascar animated movies.

 

Anyway, we're pretty sure the peeps at Singapore Zoo must be partying away at the rare achievement.

Congrats you guys!
