Animals On Earth: India, Asia, China, Hawaii, And Madagascar

Red Ruffed Lemur

It is one of the largest primates of Madagascar with a body length of 53 cm, a tail length of 60 cm and a weight of 3.3–3.6 kg.

A small primate species native only to Madagascar, red ruffed lemurs live in just one protected area and are critically endangered.

Red ruffed lemurs have six bottom teeth known as a "tooth comb". They use it to groom, or comb, their fur and to help pull the skin off fruit. Red ruffed lemurs have a long claw on the second toe of their back leg which they use for brushing their fluffy coats.

Weighing up to nine pounds (4.1 kg), red-ruffed lemurs are among the largest living lemurs and the largest pollinators in the world.

Red ruffed lemurs take their name from their plush chestnut- or orange-red coat, all the more striking because of their black face, tail, chest, and inner arms 

Red ruffed lemurs are entirely vegetarian. They eat some leaves, seeds, and nectar, but most of their diet consists of fruit. At the Smithsonian's National Zoo, they eat two types of primate biscuit, corn, sweet potato, bell pepper, carrot and celery.
