OAKLAND, Calif. -- Two Crowned lemurs are now on display at the Oakland Zoo, where guests can see them along with ring-tailed lemurs and blue-eyed, black lemurs.

Lemurs come from the island of Madagascar, off Africa's east coast. They're considered endangered because their habitat is being destroyed.
