OUR ANIMALS

SPECIES IN OUR CARE

Conservation Stewardship & Professional Engagement

At Twin Pine Farm & Exotics Conservation Foundation (TPFECF), the species under our stewardship are managed within conservation-focused programs that support animal welfare, scientific collaboration, and long term species sustainability.


Our animal care practices are guided by species-specific behavioral needs, veterinary oversight, and evidence based husbandry approaches designed to promote both physical and psychological well-being.
 

TPFECF operates as a closed conservation support facility and is not open for general public visitation. Educational engagement and professional site visits are offered selectively and by appointment for academic
institutions, conservation partners, and qualified professionals.


Through structured outreach, collaboration, and training initiatives, TPFECF contributes to advancing conservation knowledge, responsible species management, and the development of future wildlife professionals.


TPFECF remains committed to maintaining high standards of animal welfare, biosecurity, and conservation integrity across all programs.

Lemurs

We house red ruffed and black & white ruffed Lemurs. They are endemic to the island of Madagascar. Most existing lemurs are small, have a pointed snout, large eyes, and a long tail. They chiefly live in trees and are active at night. Lemurs share resemblance with other primates, but evolved independently from monkeys and apes. Due to Madagascar's highly seasonal climate, lemur evolution has produced a level of species diversity rivaling that of any other primate group.
