The Dallas Zoo announced the birth of four black-and-white ruffed lemurs.

Zoo officials say the infants were born on March 7 and haven't been named yet. It is the first time the species has been born at the zoo in more than 30 years.

Zoo officials say they new lemurs will be introduced after they are certain the babies are strong enough to navigate their habitat at the zoo’s Lemur Lookout.

Another set of babies, twin emperor tamarin monkeys, were also born at the zoo on March 29.
