Silky sifakas (Propithecus candidus) are native to a restricted range in northeastern Madagascar. One of the most threatened sifaka species. Females mate only one day in the entire year, in late December or early January. Threatened by slash-and-burn agriculture and hunting. Critically Endangered.

Our small-clawed otter pup officially has a name, and it’s just as adorable as he is. The name Bao (Bảo) primarily means “treasure” and “precious” in Vietnamese, and this two-month-old growing pup is already stealing hearts as he explores and starts swim lessons with parents by his side.
