Funny Cute Ring Tailed Lemurs Eating and Smiling

Ring tailed lemur : The rings are black and white and their body fur is mostly grey with white faces and chests.
Ring tailed lemurs are probably the most well-known of all the different types of lemur because King Julien from the Madagascar films is one. Ring tailed lemurs spend more than a third of their time on the ground, more than any other lemur species. They like to sunbathe in the mornings to warm themselves up. You will see them sitting with their arms outstretched, like they are sun-worshipping. They live for up to 15 years in the wild.

Our ring tailed lemurs live on an island on a pond next to our tapir. We have three different kinds of lemur at Folly Farm. The others are the red ruffed lemur and black and white ruffed lemur.

Where do ring tailed lemurs live?
Ring tailed lemurs come from Madagascar, the island off the East Coast of Africa. They live in the rainforest and spend most of their time on the forest floor, although they do climb but tend to spend more time in the mid canopy than the very top of the trees like ruffed lemurs.

What do ring tailed lemurs eat?
Ring tailed lemurs mostly eat fruit and leaves. They really like the leaves of the tamarind tree. When it’s available, half of what they eat will be tamarind leaves. The food they eat is different to other lemurs because of the amount of time they spend on the ground. They will eat bark, earth, small insects and spider webs.

No wonder they call them ghosts.
They always seem to curiously relish in their surroundings and look at things all weird like.
Not to mention their eyes.
Urgh, god, those eyes.
I mean they're cute but the yellow (or orange) hue just throws it off.
