Photo: Auckland Zoo Animal Ring Tailed Lemur New Zealand

An animal at the Auckland Zoo in New Zealand, is the Ring-tailed Lemur who sits quietly in the tree scoping out his visitors.

A couple of Ring-tailed lemurs relax in the trees in their habitat at the Auckland Zoo in Auckland, New Zealand while the sun shines off their soft greyish brown colored fur. Their long striped bushy tails hang down below them having twenty-six black and white rings, always starting with a white stripe and finishing off the tail with a black stripe.

A Ring-tailed Lemur enjoys spending the early mornings suntanning where they warm themselves up but during the evening hours, they will huddle together as a group to stay warm.

A family of Ring-tailed Lemur reside at the Auckland Zoo, the mother, father and their six children. A majority of their day is spent on the ground, but occasionally, they like to take to the trees for a different view of their habitat.
