Ring-tailed lemur

It’s undoubtedly THE most familiar lemur to young and old alike. Highly sociable, the maki catta lives in groups of up to 30 individuals. Known for its meditative pose in front of the sun, during which it uses UV rays to activate the production of its body odor, the maki catta is native to southern Madagascar. At the park, we managed to get two clans of makis to live together. Unique in the world! The maki catta has been the subject of a breeding program since 1994.
