Feeding
Ringtailed lemurs can reach even the smallest of branches to feed on tender leaves and flowers. Click image for larger version.
Their diet consists of fruit, leaves, flowers, bark, sap and the occasional invertebrate. Due to the fact that vegetation in forests inhabited by these lemurs is sparse and non-continuous, they are often found traveling on the ground. As an adaptation to survival in a harsh climate, the ringtails range far and feed from a wide variety of vegetation.
