RE: Endangered Species #12 The Ruffed Lemurs

in #animals7 years ago

Their offspring are altricial and are born with their eyes open whilst also possessing a full coat of fur

lol! Looking at that pic of them as infants, that's exactly how I imagined them being born, eyes blaring wide, but I thought I was imagining something funny, but it turns out to be true!


Well-written and informative post as always. The lemurs' doing so well in captivity can almost be seen as a negative sign, since it means there might be less of a willingness to preserve the wild populations.
