Zoboomafoo’s granddaughter has been named by her primary caregiver and is no longer available for adoption❤️ Our current adoptable infants are showcased on our Baby’s First Year: Ultimate Adoption Package homepage.
This infant is a member of an illustrious family: She is the granddaughter of Jovian, the lemur who played the famous Zoboomafoo!
Born on January 12, 2026, she is the seventh offspring of Coquerel’s sifaka Gisela and her late mate, Rupert. She joins this tight-knit family group with older brothers Silas and Arcadius, the former of whom shares her birthday. She was born at a healthy 103 grams—about the same weight as a deck of playing cards.
Silas and Arcadius have both been very excited to interact with the newest member of their family, carefully taking the infant from mom (when Gisela allows it) to groom her. This is one-year-old Arcadius’s first experience with an infant, and he’s done a great job taking cues from Gisela and Silas on how to appropriately hold and care for his baby sister. Gisela is a very experienced mom and has done a fantastic job caring for her new daughter.
“I love the excitement her brothers have shown getting to hold and interact with her,” says Aiden, the husbandry technician who takes care of Gisela and her family. “Seeing how she is already climbing all over her brothers, I think she is going to be very adventurous. Thankfully for Gisela, Arcadius and Silas seem to be up to the job of helping mom out!”
Coquerel’s sifakas born at the DLC traditionally receive ancient Roman names. Infants from recent years include Arcadius (named for a Roman emperor), Pax (named for the Roman goddess of peace), and Egeria (named for a consort to a Roman king who was rumored to be a nymph).
