Ring Tailed Lemur - Photo of the Day - December 26th, 2010

View Cart
"Ring Tailed Lemur"

The ring-tailed lemur has the tail of a raccoon, which males cover with secretions from scent glands on their chests. They then wave their tails at each other during mating season, engaging in 'stink wars' over females. Males and females look virtually identical.

All lemurs are endangered by the deforestation of Madagascar, which destroys their homes. Although it has been illegal to kill wild lemurs since 1974, many people are not aware of the law and hunting still occurs.

"Black Tailed Prairie Dog"

Black-tailed prairie dogs are often confused with other animals that are colloquially referred to as 'prairie dogs' or 'gophers'. Chief among these in Canada is the Richardson's ground squirrel. Black-tailed prarie dogs are actually much larger than ground squirrels weighing 705 - 1675 g and measuring up to 40 cm long. Males tend to be larger than females, and their weight fluctuates through the seasons. A prairie dog's weight is highest before winter, but interestingly they do not hibernate. As their name suggests, black-tailed prairie dogs differs from other prairie dogs in that it has a black tip on its tail.
