Sticking Together
Ring-tailed lemurs are found in the dry forests of southwestern Madagascar. Ring-tailed lemurs spend much of their time on the ground and are the only living semi-terrestrial lemur - all other living lemur species are much more arboreal.
A ring-tailed lemur troop is usually centered around a core group of females and their offspring. Group size can range from three to over twenty individuals.

What's for Dinner?
Native to habitats in southwestern Madagascar, Ring-tailed lemurs eat a wide variety of foods, including fruit, leaves, flowers, bark, sap, herbs, insects and other small animals.
