Ruffed lemur is the biggest and the most beautiful coloured lemur of Madagaskar. They create groups. Each group has four - ten individuals, they have rest in nests on the trees. In our ZOO there has lived one pair of these monkeys for four years. Male Pan and female Agnesa. They are very dear, they aren`t aggressive and they`re grateful. |
