Black and White Ruffed Lemur
Click image for enlargement
In situations where suitable habitat is available but animal or plant populations are depleted, reintroduction of captive-bred individuals can be useful. In October 1997 the first restocking of lemurs began with the release of five Black and White Ruffed Lemurs from the Duke University Primate Center into the Betampona Natural Reserve. As of December 1997 the immigrants were doing well.When a group of Black and White Ruffed Lemurs is making territorial calls it often sounds like a serious brawl is going on within the group. These lemurs are comparable to domestic cats in weight (4 kg/9 pounds) but look larger.
