RED-RUFFED LEMUR
Lemurs are primates found on the island of Madagascar. Red-ruffed lemurs live in groups and practice a form of communal parenting. Unlike most other lemurs, young are not carried by their mothers but are left in a nest in the forest canopy while the adults look for food.
You can see more lemurs at WildMadagascar.org
The Mongabay Kids site (kids.mongabay.com) aims to help children learn about rainforests and the environment. This site is still under development and I am working to add additional content as time permits. If you have comments or are interested in submitting educational content for the site, please feel free to contact me.
The site is available in many different languages, including Portuguese, Chinese, French, Spanish, Japanese, and German.
