  • Ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) near Andringitra mountains. South-central MADAGASCAR <br />
THIS GENUS CONTAINS A SINGLE SPECIES<br />
Males and females look alike. Medium sized lemurs, length of 950-1,100mm and weight: 2.3-3.5kg's. They have long alternate black and white ringed tails and adopt a horizontal body posture generally moving quadrupedally on the ground. Ring-tailed lemurs are diurnal and are the most terrestrial of all Malagasy primates. This species has been studied since the 1960's and more information has been gathered on it than any other Malagasy primate. Their diet is very varied and consists of fruit, leaves, flowers, bark, sap and occasionally invertebrates. They also occur in larger groups than any other Malagasy primate - from 3 to around 25. There is a well-defined and maintained heirachy within the troop and females are dominant with the alpha female forming the focal point for the group. Males also have their own heirachy. Scent marking is important for demarking their territory. Young are born in August and September. Only 30% reach adulthood.<br />
HABITAT & DISTRIBUTION: Spiny forest, dry scrub, deciduous forest and gallery forest are used throughout the majority of its range. At Andringitra Massif they are found on exposed rocks. They are found in south and south-western Madagascar from Tolagnaro in the se to just south of Morondava on the west coast. Generally found at lower elevations except in Andringitra Massif where it has been recorded above the treeline to altitudes in excess of 2,600 meters.<br />
THREATENED SPECIES: The two main habitat types preferred by Ring-tailed lemurs, dense Didieraceae/Euphorbiaceae bush and riverside gallery forest, are already restricted and known to be diminishing alarmingly as a result of fires, overgrazing and wood-harvesting for charcoal production. They are still hunted for food and trapped to be kept as pets.<br />

  • Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis)<br />
MADAGASCAR<br />
One of the most bizarre mammals/ primates / lemurs in the world. Their peculiar features include huge ears, bushy tail, long shaggy coast, rodent-like teeth and a skeletal 'probe-like' middle finger. Males and females are simular looking and have a body length of 440-530mm and weight of 2.3kg. They are nocturnal lemurs and largely solitary. During the day they hide in a 'nest' which they make from twigs and dead leaves. They are continually making new nest sites. They feed on ramy nuts (Canarium madagascariensis) nectar from Traveller's palm (Ravenala madagascariensis), some fungi and insect grubs. They have also been known to raid coconut, lichee and mango plantations. They use their rodent-like teeth to gnaw into hard nut shells, then insert the skeletal finger to extract the pulp. A large portion of their night is spent foraging and they are able to travel considerable distances to do that. <br />
HABITAT & DISTRIBUTION: Low and mid altitude rain forests, dry deciduous forests and some cultivated areas like lichee and coconut plantations. They are found widely in native forests along the entire east coast rain forest region, northern humid forests and west coast from Bemaraha north.<br />
THREATENED SPECIES: The population densities are not known but as in the case of most lemurs probably declining through habitat loss as their home-ranges are large. In some areas it is 'fady' (taboo) to hunt them while in others they are thought to bring bad luck and are killed by villages.  The meat is also sometimes eaten.<br />

  • Red Howler Monkey (Alouatta seniculus arctoidea) (3 sub-species in Venezuela)<br />
Hato Masaguarel working farm and biological station, Guárico Province, VENEZUELA. South America.<br />
Diurnal arboreal monkeys. They live in troops consisting of an adult male, several femals and their young. Females reproduce in any season but seem to prefer the dry season when there is plenty of fruit. Up to 2 young are born and are carried on her back. The males are very vocal and their calls are heard for several kilometers in the early mornings. Feed on leaves and fruit.<br />
The Llanos are flood plains stretching north of the Orinoco River to the Andean foothills, covering 300,000sq km in Venezuela and another 220,000 sq km in Colombia. This area has poor soil but is rich in its river systems which floods in the wet season leaving shallow marshes which nourish a high concentration of birds and animals.

  • Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta) grooming each other in Bharatpur National Park or Keoladeo Ghana Sanctuary. Rajasthan. INDIA<br />
Macaques live in forest edges and in or near villages, towns and temples from up to 2,400 meters elevation in the Himalayas. They are diurnal monkeys and although often shy in the forests, become quite bold in urban areas. They walk and run on all fours feeding on the ground and in trees. They are gregarious and live in troops of up to 50 animals. They are also known to be good swimmers. The feed on insects, shoots, fruit and seeds as well as cultivated crops and small animals. They often store food in their cheek pouches to be eaten later. These monkeys are often captured by rural entertainers to train for village shows.

  • Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) 'dancing' across the ground.  They only do this when there is a clearing - they prefer to move from tree to tree by leaping.<br />
Berenty Reserve, Southern MADAGASCAR<br />
These are large (length 900-1075mm and weight: 3-4kg), vertically clinging and leaping lemurs. They are diurnal and live in mixed multi mail / multi female groups of up to 14 individuals. Verreaux's sifaka feed primarily on leaves, fruit and flowers. They have one young born between August and September. At first the infant clings to the mother's front then as it gets larger rides on her back.<br />
DISTRIBUTION: Forested regions from Tsiribihina River in the west, south to the Tolagnaro area in the south-east and inland as far as Isalo Massif. They live in Dry deciduous forests in the west and Xerophytic spiny and gallery forests in the south.<br />
THREATENED: The various habitats in which this species are found are all becoming increasingly fragmented due cutting for timber,  firewood and production of charcoal. Although it is 'fady' or taboo to hunt this species amoung some tribal groups others especially around Isalo do hunt it and in this area it is known as 'sifaka for the cooking pot'.<br />

  • White-footed sportive lemur (Lepilemur leucopus) Berenty Reserve. Southern MADAGASCAR<br />
HABITAT: Xerophytic spiny forest and gallery forest in southern and south-west Madagascar. <br />
These are medium-sized nocturnal lemurs with long tails and the smallest in their genus. Length: 460-520mm; Weight 500-700 grams. They cling vertically to tree trunks and jump large distances with their powerful hind legs. Tree holes, tangles of lianas (vines) or tree forks are the preferred sleep sites where they can be seen during the day resting. They are usually found singularly except during breeding season and when they have offspring. They feed on the tough leaves from Didiereaceae and Euphorbiaccae species, together with the leaves and occasionally flowers of the Tamarind or Kily tree.<br />
ENDEMIC TO MADAGASCAR.<br />
THREATS: Habitat distruction from burning for more cattle pastures. Hunting in some areas.<br />

They are diurnal and live in family groups of three to ten. Coquerel's sifaka feed primarily on leaves, fruit, bark and flowers. They have one young in June or July. At first the infant clings to the mother's front then as it gets larger rides on her back.<br />
DISTRIBUTION: Restricted to north-west Madgascar in dry-deciduous and semi-evergreen forests.<br />
THREATENED SPECIES due to habitat distruction for agriculture and the production of charcoal but also deliberately started bush fires lit to encourage new grass shoots to grow. Hunting also occurs in some areas although around Ankarafantsika Reserve it is 'fady' or taboo to hunt this species.<br />

These are medium-sized nocturnal lemurs with long tails. Weight 600-800 grams. They cling vertically to tree trunks and jump large distances with their powerful hind legs. Tree holes are the preferred sleep sites where they can be seen during the day sunning themselves. They are usually found singularly but as many as 4 individuals can be found sharing large tree holes. They feed mostly on leaves, although some fruits, seeds and flowers are consumed. They have been observed taking moths.<br />
ENDEMIC TO MADAGASCAR.<br />
THREATS: Habitat distruction from burning for more cattle pastures. Hunting in some areas.<br />

  • Crowned Lemur (Eulemur coronatus) female with baby. Ankarana Special Reserve. Northern MADAGASCAR.<br />
They are sexually dichromatic and other than the black lemur this is the most obviously sexually dichromatic lemur species and is also the smallest member of the genus. They are medium sized lemurs that adopt horizontal body postures. Length 750-850mm and weight 2,5-1,8kg. They are usually diurnal but can be active during the night. They live in groups of 5 to 15 individuals that contain several adult males and females and offspring.  The females tend to be dominant. Their home ranges are small and overlap with other groups. Although foraging occurs at all levels of the forest from the ground up to the canopy they appear to prefer the lower levels and understory. This probably reduces competition between the Sanford's brown lemur that usually occures in the same areas and feed in the upper levels. During dry and wet seasons fruit makes up their main diet. In the dry season flowers and young leaves are also taken.<br />
They are predatored upon by fossa, crocodiles and large raptors.<br />
DISTRIBUTION: Restricted to the northern tip of Madagascar including the National park of Montagne d'Ambre, Ankarana Special Reserve, Analamera Special Reserve and Daraina Protected area.<br />
ENDEMIC TO MADAGASCAR.<br />
THREATS: Direct distruction of their habitat for agriculture and logging. They are hunted too.
