The document discusses the ring-tailed lemur, a primate native to Madagascar. It has a head and body length of 51-60cm, a tail slightly longer, and weighs around 3.2-4.5kg. Lemurs have long, pointy noses and come in many varieties. Females typically give birth to 1-2 babies after a gestation period, often twins in captivity. Lemurs build temporary nests when giving birth and eat small amounts of leaves, flowers, nectar, fungi and soil. Their sense of smell is highly developed and used for communication.
