Two rare blue-eyed lemurs, Anthony and Dern, live at Oakland Zoo. Dern relocated to Oakland from the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, Texas and so far the two lemurs can't keep their paws off each other! Zookeepers are hopeful that Dern, the female, will become pregnant during the winter months. Fingers crossed!
