The ring-tailed lemur is a large strepsirrhine primate native to Madagascar. Known for its distinctive long, striped tail, this lemur is highly social and lives in groups. The image captures a ring-tailed lemur perched in a tree, surrounded by dense foliage, highlighting its striking features such as bright orange eyes and a mix of gray and white fur. These animals are primarily diurnal and spend a significant amount of time on the ground, unlike many other lemurs. Their diet is varied, including fruits, leaves, and flowers. Conservation efforts are crucial as their habitats are threatened by deforestation and other human activities.
