These indicate a species of Strepsirrhini that retain a rhinarium found only in prosimian primates.

Explanation:

The physical traits mentioned in the description of the species evident at the zoo are commonly exhibited by a few animals like the Lemurs found in Madagascar, Pottos and Galagos found in Africa and Lorises found in India. Based on the attribute of the nose skin (rhinarium) of these species, these species are categorized in the class of Prosimian primates.
