Ring-tailed lemur backs are gray to rosy brown with gray limbs and dark gray heads and necks. They have white bellies. Their faces are white with dark triangular eye patches and a black nose. True to their name, ring-tailed lemurs' tails are ringed with 13 alternating black and white bands.

Are ring-tailed lemurs poisonous?

Lemurs are not toxic. The only primate known to be poisonous is the slow loris, which secrets a toxin from its arm and licks it to make its bite...

How do lemurs look like?

Lemurs are generally small in size, and their face somewhat resembles a mouse's face in smaller species or a fox's face in larger species. Many lemur species have a snout, and all have a wet and hairless nose with curved nostrils, which is unique among primates and makes them superior sniffers.
