DULUTH - You voted, and now a couple of cool primates in Duluth have new names.
This summer, the Lake Superior Zoo welcomed four adorable baby boy and girl lemurs.
During Boo at the Zoo, zoo officials asked the public to help them decide what to call the little animals.
The votes are in and you chose: Riley, Felana, Lorlei and London."I just really hope that everyone comes and sees our babies as they're growing up,” said Emily Pann with the Lake Superior Zoo. “They're very active, very bouncy and fun to watch and they should really come and check them out and stop by the zoo."
The zoo also celebrated the World Lemur Festival to raise awareness about the primate.
From Boo at the Zoo donations, the zoo was able to donate $550 to the Madagascar Fauna Group, which is a conservation organization.
