The black-and-white ruffed lemur is Critically endangered! Deforestation/habitat destruction for agricultural use is their primary threat. They are also hunted for bushmeat.
Like all lemurs the black and white ruffed lemur is native in Madagascar. Madagascar has lost more than 90% of its original forest. Forest loss is primarily due to the increase in the human population coupled with the acceleration of deforestation.
Fun Facts:
The black-and-white ruffed lemur is a great pollinator. Similar to a bee, pollen gets stuck in the lemurs fluffy fur when they stick their heads into flowers to drink the sweet nectar.
A group of lemurs is called a conspiracy.
