Lemuridae
Lemuridae is one of the four families of lemurs and are part of a class of primates known as prosimians. These animals are the evolutionary predecessors of monkeys and apes (simians).
Genus Lemur has only one member: Lemur catta, or the Ring-Tailed Lemur. It is easily recognized by its black and white striped tail, and is found in many zoos.
