The black-and-white ruffed lemur lives in the tropical rain forests of eastern Madagascar. This species is the largest living member of the lemur family.
This large primate ranges in length from 3.3 to 3.9 feet. It weighs between 6.8 and 9.0 pounds. The fur pattern always displays a distinct mix of both black and white fur.
The belly, tail, hands, feet, inner limbs, forehead, face, and top of the head are black. Thick white fur covers the sides, back limbs, and hindquarters. Males and females look exactly alike.
They eat a diet made up almost entirely of fruit. In fact, fruit makes up to 92 percent of their overall food. Leaves, nectar, seeds, and mushrooms make up the remaining part of their diet.
The changing seasons influence their daily food choices. Certain plant parts and fruits only ripen during specific times of the year. Their water consumption also shifts throughout the year based on what they eat.
Several different types of loud calls that last for several seconds are common. Most members of a group join to participate in a single vocal chorus.
These primates are famous for their loud roar and shriek chorus. These sounds help guide group movement and warn family members about predators. They also help to keep a safe space between different groups.
