Ruffed Lemur Phone Case

The ring-tailed lemir is a medium- to larger-sized strepsirrhine (wet-nosed) primate, and the most internationally-recognized lemur species, owing 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, where it is endangered. Known locally as hira, it ranges from gallery forests to spiny scrub in the southern regions of the island.
