Red Ruffed Lemur

Here is certainly one of the most beautiful of primates, the Red Ruffed Lemur, Varecia rubra.  It is also one of the largest of the lemurs, reaching over a metre in total length, of which slightly more than half is the tail.  They live in northeastern Madagascar.  Like most of the unique lemurs on that island, it is seriously endangered.  What a travesty for such a magnificent creature!  Watercolour.
