外形特征Description
环尾狐猴头体长:38.5-45.5厘米;尾长:56-62.5厘米;平均重量:2-2.4公斤。环尾狐猴头小,额低,耳大,两耳都长很多茸毛,头部两侧也是长毛丛生,吻部长而突出,下门齿呈梳状,使得整个颜面看上去宛如狐狸,所以被称为狐猴。浑身毛色浅灰,背部略显棕红色,腹部灰白色,额部、耳背和颊部为白色,吻部、眼圈呈黑色,环尾狐猴得名于其尾部黑白相间的11-12条环状花纹,这一特征是其它种类狐猴所没有的。环尾狐猴的后肢比前肢长,因此攀爬、奔跑和跳跃能力都非常强,可以在树枝间一跃9米,它的掌心和脚底长着长毛,可以增加起跳和落地时的摩擦力从而不会滑倒,它甚至能够像人一样直立行走,长尾巴起到的平衡作用是不可忽视的。但是由于前肢短软无力,所以环尾狐猴下树的时候头上脚下倒退着地。
生长繁殖Growth and Breed
环尾狐猴交配季节在4-5月份,雌猴孕期130-144天,通常每胎产1仔,偶尔产2仔。小猴出生时体裸无毛,母猴或背或抱携带幼仔一起生活,2-3岁性成熟。野生环尾狐猴寿命15-16岁,人工喂养的最高寿命记录是27岁。
地理分布Distribution
环尾狐猴产于马达加斯加南部。
进化过程Evolutionary process
狐猴的历史比原先认为的更长,种类也更多。古代的灵长类动物:3500万年前的灵长动物Wadilemur elegans的化石表明,狐猴的起源比旧化石证据所显示的要早得多。
生存状况Living Condition
环尾狐猴在IUCN红色名录内被列入“易危”级别,即在中期内可能有比较高的灭绝威胁。而在濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约中亦被列入《附录I》中,禁止在国际间的交易。

环尾狐猴的英文介绍 Introduction
The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is a large strepsirrhine primate and the most recognized lemur due to its long, black and white ringed tail. It belongs to Lemuridae, one of five lemur families, and is the only member of the Lemur genus. Like all lemurs it is endemic to the island of Madagascar. Known locally in Malagasy as maky spelled maki in French) or hira, it inhabits gallery forests to spiny scrub in the southern regions of the island. It is omnivorous and the most terrestrial of lemurs. The animal is diurnal, being active exclusively in daylight hours.
The ring-tailed lemur is highly social, living in groups of up to 30 individuals. It is also female dominant, a trait common among lemurs. To keep warm and reaffirm social bonds, groups will huddle together. The ring-tailed lemur will also sunbathe, sitting upright facing its underside, with its thinner white fur towards the sun. Like other lemurs, this species relies strongly on its sense of smell and marks its territory with scent glands. The males perform a unique scent marking behavior called spur marking and will participate in stink fights by impregnating their tail with their scent and wafting it at opponents.
