The black and white ruffed lemur is depicted in the photo for October. One of the biggest lemur species, endemic to Madagascar, it has a ruff of fur round the neck. It is an agile climber and able to suspend from its feet to reach ripe fruit hanging from tree branches. Living in family groups where females are dominant, it communicates by growls, barks and howls. Classed as critically endangered, the principal threat to these lemurs' survival comes from humans. They are hunted as bushmeat by poachers and agricultural practices like the slash and burn method have devastated their natural habitat.
