Red-fronted Lemur (M) (Eulemur rufifrons)_
Island Of Madagascar
Off The East Coast Of Africa
Andasibe-Mantadia National Park
Red-fronted lemurs are one of the few lemur species that is not female dominant. Red-fronted lemurs live in sociable, permanent groups of four to 18 animals. Group size averages eight to ten individuals, and as the group moves through the forest, they stay together by way of a regular series of grunts and contact calls.
This species is sexually dichromatic and the sexes are easily distinguished from each other: males are gray to gray-brown, and females are reddish-brown. Both sexes have pale patches over their eyes, and the males have a reddish crown.
The red-fronted lemur is protected in at least ten Madagascar reserves and is classified as Near Threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The diet of the red-fronted brown lemur varies with the season and the habitat. In the west, red-fronted lemurs' diets are more folivorous, including leaves, stems, bark, and sap; in the east, their diets are dominated by fruit. In some areas, these lemurs are important agents for seed dispersal. - Wikipedia
