🦁 Tennessee Aquarium Hosts Red-Ruffed Lemur Facebook Live Series Ahead of World Lemur Day

The Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga is bringing wildlife education directly to viewers’ screens this week with a multi-part Facebook Live series celebrating lemurs and building awareness for World Lemur Day on October 30. For residents across the region looking for engaging, accessible ways to learn about conservation and animal behavior, these virtual sessions offer a behind-the-scenes look at one of the region’s most popular attractions.

📺 What to Expect from the Livestream Series

The second installment of the three-part series focuses on the Red-ruffed lemurs living at the Tennessee Aquarium. During the livestream, viewers will learn about the species’ characteristics, behavior, and conservation significance while having the opportunity to submit and hear answers to their own lemur-related questions in real time. The interactive format transforms a typical educational video into a conversation, making it ideal for families, students, and anyone curious about wildlife.

🌍 World Lemur Day and Conservation Connection

World Lemur Day, observed on October 30, highlights the importance of these endangered primates found only in Madagascar. By hosting this series leading up to the date, the Tennessee Aquarium connects local audiences to global conservation efforts. The third livestream will air on Friday, October 30, completing the educational arc and giving viewers multiple opportunities to tune in throughout the week.

🤝 Community Support Behind the Series

Food City has stepped forward to support this virtual experience, demonstrating how local businesses can amplify educational initiatives. This partnership underscores the value that regional companies place on wildlife education and community engagement-especially when content reaches people who may not visit in person.

For those interested in joining the conversation, the livestreams are accessible directly through the Tennessee Aquarium‘s Facebook page, making participation free and convenient for viewers throughout the Sequatchie Valley and surrounding counties.
