Like tourists who love soaking up the Hawaiian warmth, the ring-tailed lemurs often sit upright and expose their bellies to the sunshine. The primate from southern Madagascar has a long, black and white striped tail that outstretches its body by six or seven inches. The enlarged eyes improve their night vision yet they are most active during the day. Their troop size averages from six to two dozen and are dominated by the female. This pair looks like they are taking a time out after an argument.
