"It's a first. We're all in shock, to be honest. It means that this boy here, this is Zeus, the father, has done his job. And to be honest, he has a tough job because he only has a 24 to 36 hour window while they're in that season. And they only breed once a year. So, he got around very well."

“这是前所未有的。老实说，我们都很震惊。新生狐猴的数量之多意味着宙斯完成了它做爸爸的愿望。说实话，它也很难，因为繁殖期的窗口只有24到36小时。而且环尾狐猴每年只繁殖一次。所以他做得非常好。”
The twins were born in August and September. Ring-tailed lemurs, endemic to Madagascar, are classified as an endangered species.
这四对双胞胎狐猴生于八月和九月。环尾狐猴，马达加斯加特有的品种，已被列为濒危物种。
