Description
The Ring Tailed Lemur (Lemur catta) is the African island of Madagascar and is not naturally found anywhere else in the world. Ring-tailed lemurs have a pointed muzzle, cat-like ears, and a long tail that has 12 or 13 white rings, 13 or 14 black rings, and a tip that is always black. Ring-tailed lemurs are omnivorous and will eat fruit, leaves, insects and most other food they can find.

Social: Ring tailed lemurs live in family groups of up to 30 individuals. The females are interrelated, and the males migrate from their family group when they reach adulthood. Lemur troops spend daylight hours foraging for leaves and fruit, moving several kilometres a day. They are playful and friendly towards members of their own group, but may be aggressive to other lemur troops.

Size: Head to tail length is 37 and 43 inches. Weigh in 5 to 7.5 pounds.
