Species
Found only in the southern part of Madagascar, the ring-tailed
lemur, with its distinctive black and white tail, inhabits the
resource-rich gallery forests along major rivers and adjacent
dry scrub forests. Mornings start with sunbathing to warm up,
before venturing off to forage for fruit, leaves, flowers and
occasionally invertebrates. Ring-tailed lemurs are more terrestrial
than any other species, foraging for food and patrolling their
territory on the ground during the day. At night the members of
the troop rest huddled together in the trees.
