Black lemurs in Madagascar use a bizarre natural trick to keep mosquitoes away — they chew on toxic millipedes and rub the chemicals all over their bodies. But those chemicals don’t just repel insects… they can send the lemurs into a dazed, trance-like state. Some even take tiny doses on purpose. One of the strangest wildlife behaviors you’ll ever see.

Sadly, the population of black lemurs is declining in the wild mainly due to habitat destruction and hunting. Clementine and Lotfi were introduced at Drusillas as part of the European Endangered Species Programme. The new arrival is their third baby born at the Park following the birth of Tsito in April 2011 and Malala in July 2012.
