There are no exact figures for this species, and the population appears to be in decline.
Humans are the primary predator of ruffed lemurs. Juveniles may also be taken by hawks or eagles. The fossa is also a predator, but data suggests that wild ruffed lemurs avoid them by living at the very tops of the trees.
No, there are no known wild lemurs in kenya. Wild lemurs live in Madagascar.
there are about 100-1000 in the wild
Black and White Ruffed Lemurs also known as Varecia Variegata, live on the island of Madagascar. They are most commonly found in the eastern rain-forests of the island.
Some species of lemur live in rainforests, such as the ruffed lemurs (found in some zoos), the indri, and the larger sifakas (known as simponas). Other lemurs, such as the ring-tailed lemur and the smaller sifakas tend to live in dry scrub, deciduous forest, or other habitat types.
Lemurs are wild animals, and should NOT be owned as pets. Instead try dogs, cats, snakes, or rodents.
Their precise population is not known. They are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
They can be found in some zoos but in the wild they are only found in one place the island of Madagascar.
Lemurs live on Madagascar

I am assuming you are referring to a black-and-white ruffed lemur, which is fairly common in zoos. Regardless, all animals in zoos are kept to educate the public, and especially in the case of lemurs, they act as insurance against extinction in the wild. In the wild, many lemur species are seed dispersers, thus benefiting the forests in which they live. All species are beneficial to their natural environment. The only time a species is harmful is when it's invasive (introduced and taking over).
