Baby Sifaka - Saint Louis Zoo

A baby Coquerel's Sifaka (CO-cue-rals she-FAK), an endangered lemur species from Madagascar, was born at the Saint Louis Zoo on February 16.

This is the first baby for mother, Almirena (al-mah-REE-nah), age 6, from the Los Angeles Zoo, and father Caligula, age 10. Almirena is a great mother and the newborn is very strong, according to zookeepers. The baby will hold on to mom's belly for about a month, then "graduate" to riding on her back.
