Ring-Tailed Lemur

Native Range
Southern Madagascar

Ring-tailed lemurs rarely stay in one place for long. A group may hop across branches, climb over rocks, or pause together in the sun with their striped tails stretched high behind them. Those tails are not used for gripping branches, but they help lemurs keep track of one another as they move through their surroundings. At a zoo or wildlife destination, watch for the way the group interacts. Lemurs may groom one another, investigate food, or jostle for a sunny spot, creating plenty of small moments to notice. Their large eyes and pointed faces make expressions easy to follow, especially when one stops to inspect something nearby. Ring-tailed lemurs spend time both in trees and on the ground, where their strong legs make them surprisingly agile. Native to the dry forests and scrublands of southern Madagascar, they eat fruit, leaves, flowers, and other plant foods. Their black-and-white tails are the obvious feature, but their social behavior often becomes the reason visitors keep watching.
