- [Narrator] This is Taries — a Ring-Tailed Lemur.

Of the 100 or so species of lemurs in Madagascar,

the Ring-Tailed Lemur is easily the most iconic

because of its black and white ringed tail.

They're mostly vegetarian feeding on fruit, leaves,

flowers, bark and the occasional insect or lizard

that they find in the desert scrubland and woods

When traveling together they keep their tails

raised in the air like flags in order to make sure

Unfortunately, they have to travel farther

by expanding farmland, overgrazing from livestock,

While conservation has battled for the lemurs survival,

Ring-Tailed Lemurs breed very successfully in captivity
