Collectible Wildlife Gifts | Ringtail Lemur, Ring-Tailed, Plastic Animal Figure, Model, Animal, Toy, 3" CWG110 B237

The  ring-tailed lemur  (Lemur catta) is a large  strepsirrhine  primate  and the most recognized  lemur  due to its long, black and white ringed tail. It belongs to  Lemuridae, one of five lemur families, and is the only member of the  Lemur  genus. Like all lemurs it is endemic to the island of  Madagascar  and  endangered. Known locally in  Malagasy  as  spelled  maki  in  French) or  hira, it inhabits  gallery forests  to spiny  scrub  in the southern regions of the island. It is  omnivorous  and the most  terrestrial  of extant lemurs. The animal is  diurnal, being active exclusively in daylight hours. The ring-tailed lemur is highly social, living in groups of up to 30 individuals. It is also female dominant, a trait common among lemurs. To keep warm and reaffirm social bonds, groups will huddle together. The ring-tailed lemur will also sunbathe, sitting upright facing its underside, with its thinner white fur towards the sun. Like other lemurs, this species relies strongly on its sense of smell and  marks its territory  with scent glands. The males perform a unique  scent marking  behavior called  spur marking  and will participate in  stink fights  by marking their tail with their scent and wafting it at opponents. As one of the most vocal primates, the ring-tailed lemur uses numerous  vocalizations  including group cohesion and  alarm calls. Experiments have shown that the ring-tailed lemur, despite the lack of a large brain (relative to  simiiform  primates), can organize sequences, understand basic  arithmetic operations  and preferentially select tools based on functional qualities.
