Since 1996 the Alaotran Gentle Lemur has been on the critically endangered list. These lemurs inhabit reed beds and the surrounding marshes of Lake Alaotra, where it forages on the leaves and young shoots of the reeds and on buds and pith of Papyrus. The burning of reed bed habitats, the capture of these lemurs fleeing these fire, the draining of lakes for rice irrigation and the use of reeds for mats, fish traps, screens, barriers and fencing pose considerable threats to these animals.

This picture is included in the Primate calender Van der Decken’s Sifaka (Propithecus deckenii) is a sifaka endemic to Madagascar. It has a length of 92 to 107 centimeters, of which 42-48 centimeters are tail. Van der Decken’s Sifaka lives in western Madagascar. It lives in dry deciduous forest. / Its pelage is usually creamy white, with tinges of yellow-gold, silver grey or pale brown on the neck, shoulders, back and limbs. The face is entirely black.[3] Group size is between 2 and 10 individuals, with groups of 3 to 6 most common. Sifakas are on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, their status is considered Vulnerable. Sifakas are a genus (Propithecus) from the primate family Indriidae. Like all lemurs, they are found only on the island of Madagascar. / Sifakas are medium sized indrids. Their tail is just as long as their body, which differentiates them from the Indri. Their fur is long and silky, with coloration varying by species from yellowish-white to black brown. The round, hairless face is always black. / Sifakas are diurnal and arboreal. They are skillful climbers and powerful jumpers, able to make leaps of up to 10 m from one tree to the next. On the ground they move like all indrids with hopping movements of the hind legs, holding their forelimbs up for balance. When not searching for food they spend a good part of the day sun bathing, stretched on the branches. Sifakas live in larger groups than the other indrids (up to 13 animals). They have a firm territory, which they mark with smell glands. Edges of different sifaka territories can overlap. Even though they defend their territory from invasion by others of their species, they may peacefully co-exist with other lemur species such as Red-bellied Lemur and the Common Brown Lemur. / Sifakas are herbivores, eating leaves, flowers and fruits. / A four to five month gestation period ends with the birth of a single offspring in July. The young holds fast to the mother’s belly when small, but then later is carried on her back. Young are weaned after about six months and reach full maturity at the age of two to three years. The life expectancy of the sifakas is up to 18 years.

This picture is included in the Primate calender The Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur (Varecia variegata) is one of the two species of ruffed lemurs, the other being the Red Ruffed Lemur. Like all lemurs, it is native only to Madagascar. The Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur can grow up to 4 ft long, although typically a little smaller, and is about 7.3-8.4 lb. Its lifespan in captivity is about 18 years but many live to 20. It is quadrupedal. The Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur is black with white areas on its limbs head and back. Its neck has a mane and the face has a muzzle like a dog’s. Males and females look the same. It has the second loudest call of any primate, second only to the howler monkey.[citation needed] It is the only lemur known to have litters rather than solitary young. Its diet consists mainly of sweet fruits, leaves, nectar, flowers, seeds, and even dirt in some cases. It usually searches for food alone, rejoining its small group later to sleep. The Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur is preyed upon by boa constrictors, eagles and the Fossa. Because the Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur is diurnal, the nocturnal Fossa poses the biggest threat. The Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur is on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, where it is considered Endangered Picture taken in Artis Zoo in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

This is a photo of a brown lemur I took on my recent trip to Madagascar, luckily a week before the coup. / Hopefully things will settle down & some of you will have a chance to travel there, if you haven’t already. / It really is a truly, stunning country.

I love these boys. Lemurs are primates found only on the African island of Madagascar and some tiny neighboring islands. Because of its geographic isolation, Madagascar is home to many amazing animals found nowhere else on Earth. Lemurs may have floated there eons ago on “rafts” of vegetation and evolved in isolation over countless centuries. Ring-tailed lemurs are unmistakable because of their long, vividly striped, black-and-white tail. They are familiar residents of many zoos. Lemurs use their hands and feet to move nimbly through the trees, but cannot grip with their tails as some of their primate cousins do. Ring-tailed lemurs also spend a lot of time on the ground, which is unusual among lemur species. They forage for fruit, which makes up the greater part of their diet, but also eat leaves, flowers, tree bark, and sap. Taken with Nikon D50.
