The Lemurs kept us amused, especially the babies in the background, playing chase, while the grown ups kept watch. Wander through the Madagascan world of the lemurs in a walkthrough experience that will have you gasping with joy as lemurs leap from the tree tops. Meet our endangered Ring-tailed lemurs and our critically endangered Black-and-white ruffed lemurs and learn more about the cheeky characters at the Ranger Talk. Lemur Woods is an acre in size with over 20 trees – so the area the lemurs have can be looked at as a 3 dimensional cubic space – they use all the space! Endemic to Madagascar, Ring-tailed lemurs are easy to spot due to their long, striped black and white tails. Thought to have floated to Madagascar on rafts of vegetation millions of years ago, lemur’s like many of Madagascan species have evolved very differently to other animals around the world due to Madagascar’s isolation. A fun fact for all the ladies out there, it is actually the females that are dominant in lemurs. Ring-tailed lemurs use their distinctive tails to to communicate with each other, they will also use them in “stink battles” by rubbing scents on their tails and flicking them at other lemurs. Ring-tailed lemurs spend a lot of their time on the ground (as you might notice when you are at the park) foraging for fruit, leaves, flowers, sap and tree bark to eat. Thanks for all the lovely comments & favs, so, so appreciated. x Info from YWP site.
