We just learned about the .
Another type of lemur is the Ring-tailed Lemur, also called the Lemur catta, maky, or hira.
This is a very famous Lemur because of King Julien from the Madagascar movies.
Ring-tailed lemurs grow to be about 45 centimeters, and weigh about 2 kilograms.
Just like their name says, they have a long black and white striped or ringed tail.
These lemurs are funny because sometimes they will sit up and face the sun, like they are trying to get a tan on their white bellies.
They also sometimes will fight each other by spraying a scent on their tails and then have smelly tail stink fights with other lemurs.
