Description

When: July 6, 2019

Where: Apenheul Apeldoorn, The Netherlands


Even more so than before, our year was filled with Lemur babies

We saw so many kinds, and at such a young age - seeing this tiny sweetheart was such a precious experience (even if his mother did stick mostly to the dark places)


Species: Red-Bellied Lemur (Roodbuikmaki)

Latin name: Eulemur Rubriventer

Originates from Madagascar.

Current status: Vulnerable

Did you know:

…Red-Bellied Lemurs are, despite looking very similar at first glance, sexually dimorphic. The male has a medium-long, dense coat on his back in an intense chestnut brown color while his belly is lighter and more reddish, with a black tail, muzzle and head – the head also sporting cheek hairs and scent glands. The female’s coloring is the same as the male on the back and tail, while her belly is a contrasting white-cream. Both sport distinguishing white patches below the eyes, giving them a teardrop effect, which is more present in the male.

…Other Eulemurs often have ear tufts or a furry beard, but the Red-Bellied Lemur doesn’t have those features, only growing thickened fur around the ears, lending a fuller facial appearance.

…The Red-Bellied Lemur’s tail is 20% longer than it’s actual body length, measuring them in body and tail to one meter in length.
