Ring-tailed lemurs have several special adaptations. First, they are seasonal breeders that give birth during the middle of the dry season, which sounds disadvantageous at first, but actually allows the females to wean their babies at the beginning of the wet season, when there is plenty of food available.

Second, they have a low metabolism that conserves the energy they get from food, and since it's hot during the day and cool at night, they sunbathe in the morning and evening to warm up. In fact, their fur color and black skin help to maximize this effect.

Third, they are opportunistic omnivores, shifting their diet to whatever is available during the different times of the year.
