Red-ruffed lemur

The red-ruffed lemur is native to northeastern Madagascar, on the Masoala Peninsula. Living in the canopy, groups of red-ruffed lemurs regularly sing a powerful territorial song, which can be heard over a 30-hectare area… A special feature is that the red-ruffed lemur is the only lemur that shelters its babies in a nest, usually in a hollow tree. The red-ruffed lemur has been the subject of an European breeding program since 1990.
