Black & White Ruffed Lemur Poster

The Black & White Ruffed Lemur (Varecia variegatas) inhabits the lowland rain forests of Madagascar. These primates get their name from the ruff of long, thick fur that runs from around the ears to under the chin. Their fur is thick, silky and colored black and white, in a patchy pattern that may serve as camouflage. Ruffed lemurs are among the largest of living lemur species growing to 1.5 – 2 feet (head and body) and weighing 7 – 10 pounds. Lemurs are of the suborder prosimians which means “before apes” in Latin.
