Lemurs make many types of sounds, depending upon the species. The indri, for instance, sings duets like a gibbon. Mouse lemurs make little chriping sounds. Ruffed lemurs make really loud roar/shriek chorus in response to disturbances. Ring-tailed lemurs can purr like house cats when they are content and make other cat-like sounds to keep in contact with one another. The aye-aye can make a loud shriek, and also appears to use snorts as a sort of communication.

Different lemur species make different sounds. The ring-tailed lemur, for instance, can purr like a cat when content or make a loud yapping noise when it spots a predator. Mouse lemurs make high-pitched chirps, while the indri sings like a gibbon.

Yes, humans hunt ruffed lemurs for food, and the fossa may kill any that stray from the very tops of the trees.
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.
Yes they are endangered due to the treat pressed on her habitat.
There are no exact figures for this species, and the population appears to be in decline.
