A donation by Isle of Man based Fairbairn Private Bank will allow the Gerald Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust at Jersey Zoo to start a new breeding programme for its endangered ring-tailed lemurs.
Fairbairn has adopted the bachelor group of animals which have lived at the zoo for many years.
The recent arrival of two new females, the cost of which has been covered by the bank through the donation, has caused great excitement among the three males.
The two females, from Chester Zoo, have completed a four-week quarantine period and were recently moved to the park's main Lemur Wood enclosure.
They are currently in the process of being mixed with the three males, and a family of three red-fronted brown lemurs, which are also new to the trust.
