Description

The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur Catta) is a large Strepsirrhine primate and the most recognized lemur due to its long, black and white ringed tail. It belongs to Lemuridae, one of five lemur families, and is the only member of the Lemur genus. Like all lemurs it is endemic to the island of Madagascar. Known locally in Malagasy. It inhabits gallery forests to spiny scrub in the southern regions of the island. It is omnivorous and the most terrestrial of lemurs. The animal is diurnal, being active exclusively in daylight hours. Photographed using Nikon-D800E (36 megapixels) DSLR with AF-S NIKKOR 70-200 mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens at focal length 200 mm, ISO 100, and exposure 1/1600 sec at f/2.8.
