Three Emu birds and four Ring-Tailed Lemurs from the Czech Republic arrived in Sri Lanka yesterday (August 9) as part of an animal exchange programme.
Emus are the second-ranked flightless birds native to Australia whilst the Ring-Tailed Lemur is an endangered, omnivorous species native to Madagascar.
Likewise, three four-month-old Emu birds, two-year-old male Lemurs and two 11-year-old female Lemurs were brought to Sri Lanka.
After being quarantined for one month at Wagolla, Pinnawala zoo until October 6, they will be kept for exhibition to the public.
