BATTLE CREEK (AP) -- The Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek is seeking a little help picking names for its recently born lemur triplets.

The zoo says the babies born April 29 to Phin and John are on display. Staff came up with a list of names to choose from and the public may vote via the zoo's Facebook page.

The zoo says the triplets are significant because black-and-white ruffed lemurs are an endangered species. It's the second time in 35 years ruffed lemurs have been born at the zoo.
