About Ring-tailed Lemurs

The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is a well-known species of lemur in Madagascar. The ring-tailed lemur is the most recognized lemur due to its incredibly long tail. It inhabits scrubby forests in Madagascar where it eats leaves fruits and seeds. Even though they have such a long tail, lemurs can not grip with it. Ring-tailed lemurs spend the daylight hours on the ground usually sitting in the sun in groups, led by a dominantr female. Although threatened in Madagascar, lemurs breed well in zoos.

About Red-ruffed Lemurs

Lemurs are prosimians. They are primates, but are not as highly evolved as monkeys or great apes. One easily recognizable feature that differs between the lemurs and other primates is the long, almost dog-like nose of the lemurs. Whereas the other primates rely more heavily on vision and hearing, lemurs rely more on their sense of smell. There are 11 species of true lemurs and 7 species of dwarf lemurs. Lemurs are found only in the woodlands on the island of Madagascar, and the Comoro Islands near Madagascar. The red ruffed lemur is known for its reddish coloring and thick neck ruff.

About Coquerel's Sifaka Lemurs

The Coquerel's sifaka lemur (Propithecus coquereli) is a well-known species of lemur in Madagascar. The coquerel's sifaka is a large lemur about 20 inches from head to rump and carries a 16 to 20 inch tail. It is arboreal and lives in the dry coastal forests of Madagascar. It moves from tree to tree not by swing its short arms, but by leaping with its large powerful legs.Sifakas are plant-eaters. Leaves are their favorite food, and make up most of their diet in the dry season (along with tree bark). In the wet season these primates also eat fruits and flowers. They find much of their food in the treetops, but also occasionally search for food on the ground. When eating, sifakas rarely use their hands to handle their meal. Instead, they usually grab the food directly with their mouth.

Red-ruffed lemur toys at Tapir and Friends

We've been working on getting our new Madagascar animals online, and the other day Lee added the plastic red-ruffed lemur pictured above. This is the first time I've seen one made of plastic!

A long-time favorite stuffed animal has been this plush red-ruffed lemur from Fiesta toys. You can find both online at Tapir and Friends, and you can read about red-ruffed lemurs on our web site.

Plastic sifaka lemur with a purple face

Why does our plastic sifaka lemur replica have a purple muzzle? Good question! I don't know. This is how the toy lemur was made, and that's probably the whole story - "just because." Normally, a sifaka would have a black or dark brown muzzle, but realistic toy animals are not all that easy to find, especially the rarer ones. We're just glad to have ANY toy sifaka lemur to offer to fans, collectors, and for school projects! Come check out this toy lemur at Tapir and Friends!

Please join us on our Facebook page for updates from the gift shop, where we try to keep it at least somewhat realistic, and we specialize in the unusual and hard-to-find animals!

"L" is for Lots of different animals!

"L" is an easy letter to match with animals in our gift shop! We have lots of toy lemurs, and here are two of them. We have plastic lemurs (two are shown here), and three different stuffed lemurs: the ring-tailed lemur, the sifaka lemur, and the beautiful and mysterious-looking red-ruffed lemur.

Next comes our stuffed leopard cub made by Hansa. This is truly a beautiful animal! It's so soft, and the paws are soft, too. It's a baby, and would make a wonderful gift for ages child to adult. The cute pink nose is made of silky plastic.

We have more leopards, too! This little plastic leopard replica would make a good addition to your shoebox diorama for school, or simply as a collectible plastic animal.

We can't leave the letter "L" without talking about lions! We still have lion Peeper Keeper eyeglass holders. They are being discontinued by the manufacturer because they want to move on to other products; this wonderfully popular series has been a departure from their core business items (glass), but as of today, we still have our carved wood lion peepers! See lots of other lions in our gift shop, too!
