Zookeeper Alec Young walks around the lemur enclosure as he hides fruit and vegetables for them at the Reid Park Zoo, 3400 E. Zoo Court, in Tucson, on Nov. 30, 2016. The lemurs Tally and Junior receive lettuce, carrots, grapes and apples. Hiding their food helps to stimulate their senses as they search for their treats. A.E. Araiza / Arizona Daily Star
The easiest way to differentiate between the lemurs at Reid Park Zoo is to look at their tails, Young said.Β
Tally, the female, has some white frosting on her tail, whereas Junior has an all-black tail.Β
Tally also has prominent canine teeth, making her look like "a sabertooth lemur," Young jokes. Junior's canines are hidden.Β
