This is the best summary I could come up with:


A shy lemur from Britain is being urged to overcome his fears and woo his Australian companion to help their at-risk species survive.

The black-and-white ruffed lemurs, named Tsiky and Kintana, have moved in together as part of a breeding program at Altina Wildlife Park in southern New South Wales.

The park's animal manager, Rebecca Surian, said female Kintana had "masses of personality", while male Tsiky was "shy but stunning".

Both animals settled into the Darlington Point zoo quickly, eating fruit and vegetables from their zookeeper's hands within minutes of entering the enclosure.

Tsiky was transported to New South Wales from Hamerton Zoological Park in England, and Kintana from Queensland's Darling Downs Zoo.

It is hoped the introduction of Tsiky will boost the genetic diversity of the Australian lemur population to make the species healthier and more durable.
