Name the Baby Lemur

Our Baby Lemur Needs a Name

Name the little crowned lemur born to Kip and Sophie on May 18, 2026. The baby needs a name now so the keepers can begin training.

The zookeepers are offering three names to choose from:

  • Baobab: inspired by the “tree of life” and a national symbol of Madagascar.
  • Dimby: Meaning “successor” in Malagasy
  • Kian: Inspired by Kianjavato’s rainforest, where nine lemur species live and where the Kianjavato Lemur Project supports community-led conservation and reforestation.

Vote for your favorite name every day, once a day by July 15!
