The Ring-tailed Lemur is an opportunistic omnivore primarily eating fruits and leaves, particularly those of the tamarind tree (Tamarindus indica), known natively as kily. When available, tamarind makes up as much as 50% of the diet, especially during the dry, winter season. The Ring-tailed Lemur eats from as many as three dozen different plant species, and its diet includes flowers, herbs, bark and sap. It has been observed eating decayed wood, earth, spider webs, insect cocoons, arthropods (Spiders, caterpillars, cicadas and grasshoppers) and small vertebrates (birds and chameleons). During the dry season it becomes increasingly opportunistic. :)
Most lemurs eat fruit and leaves, but some eat only bamboo, while others eat nectar.
Yes, some species of lemurs, such as the ring-tailed lemur, have been observed eating small reptiles like lizards as part of their diet. However, this behavior is not common among all lemurs and varies depending on the species and their habitat.
Walking horses wear tail braces in the show ring to accentuate their high-stepping gait known as the "Big Lick." The tail brace holds the horse's tail in an unnatural position to enhance the appearance of exaggerated movement, which is desired in the show ring. However, the use of tail braces has sparked controversy and criticism due to concerns about animal welfare and discomfort for the horses.
They do not actually eat it. When they chew on the mane or tail, it is because it is their way of grooming.
The Fossa Is A Formidable Predator That Mainly Eats Large Lemurs Up To The Size Of Sifaka. However The Fossa Will Not Hesitate To Kill Smaller Animals Like Lizards, Snakes And Small Lemurs. The Fossa Will Often Eat Other Predators Like The Fanaloka In Some Areas.
I am sure that ring tail lemurs cannot work in the human work. Therefore they do nothing for a living except eat and sleep.
No. Ring Tail Lemurs are still in existence. For prof, at my local zoo, they have some in captivity.

Ring-tailed lemurs eat on the ground and in the trees. They are opportunistic omnivores, but primarily eat fruit and leaves.
Lemurs require water to survive, but most will not swim in it.
how do ring tailed lemurs survive
Like the spectacular tail of the peacock, the conspicuously striped tail of a lemur is probably intended as a form of sexual display, that helps to attract mates.
No, ring-tailed lemurs are diurnal (active during the day).
