A lemur's fur helps keep it warm when it is cold. Social lemurs, like the Ring-tailed Lemur, will also cuddle with other troop members, forming a "lemur ball" or "lemur train," to conserve heat.
Lemurs have low metabolisms, which allow them to conserve energy. But as a result, they need help warming up after a cold night. Some lemurs, such as the Ring-tailed Lemur, will sit in the sun in what is often called a "sun-worshiping" position (a lot like the Buddhist lotus position, but without folding the legs). By facing their thin, white belly fur and the dark black skin underneath towards the sun, they warm up. The fur on their back is thicker and helps trap heat in.
