Watch: Adorable Ring-Tailed Lemur Babies Make Their Video Debut

Check out the video at the bottom of this post.

King Julien might be royalty, but Squirt, Schweps and Seagramms rule in the cuteness department.

The three baby endangered ring-tailed lemurs were all born recently at Tampa’s Busch Gardens. The park is preparing for the trio to make its debut to visitors in June. They’ll appear in the Edge of Africa section. In the meantime, Busch Gardens is heralding their arrival with newly released photos and a video.

Squirt was the first of the three born at the park. She arrived on March 19 to first-time mother Canada. Ginger wasn’t about to be outdone, giving birth to twins Seagramms and Schewps on March 27.

“These births come as a result of recommendations from the Ring-tailed Lemur Species Survival Plan through the Association of Zoos & Aquariums,” the theme park explained in an email to media. “Ginger and Canada arrived at Busch Gardens from the Duke Lemur Center in 2013. Spike, the sire of all three babies, came to the park from the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo in 2004.”

Ring-tailed lemurs are considered the most endangered mammal group in the world, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. This is due to destruction of their habitat, hunting and the exotic pet trade combined, Busch Gardens’ officials noted in the email.

Ring-tailed lemurs are found only on Africa’s Madagascar island and a few other small neighboring islands, National Geographic reports. They have an estimated lifespan of 18 years in the wild, are herbivores and are considered highly endangered. The creatures live in troops of six to 30 with a single dominate female in charge.
