Ring-tailed Lemur, Rare Animal
Ring-tailed Lemurs are the national animal of Madagascar and have
grayish brown backs and whitish gray stomachs. There are black mark-
ings around the eyes and the nose. The most distinctive of their fea-
tures, however, is a long bushy tail ringed in black and white, which is
the origin of their name. These primates have glands in the wrists
which disperse distinctively scented secretions, and adult males rub
their tails with their scent and then wave their tails over their heads in
order to intimidate opponents during confrontations. Although the they
leap between trees when traveling just like other lemurs, the ring-tails
often walk on the ground with their tails put up high. They feed on
fruit, leaves,flowers, and plants and occasionally eat insects and
chameleons.Ring-tailed Lemurs are found in forests and woods near
rivers in the southern part of Madagascar Island. The number of Ring-
tailed Lemurs has decreased mainly because of habitat loss due to tree
cutting, overgrazing by livestock, etc.
