Ah, Ring-Tailed Lemurs, the Warthogs of ZT2. Live forever and breed like rabbits!
I have a HUGE rainforest mixed species exhibit with Okapi, Lemurs, and Chimps. There's a dozen or so Okapi, half a dozen Chimps, they are the newest additions to the exhibit, and haven't had so much time to expand and breed, and over 100, yes 100, Lemurs. All descended form the 3 or 4 Lemurs I put in the exhibit when I built it! I keep expecting them to feel over crowded, but it hasn't happened yet. Unlike with ostriches, who tend to get overcrowded quickly. It's an enormous exhibit, but still. The Okapi-Lemur-Chimp combo is a good one, particularly the Lemurs and Okapi seem to love each other
