Lemur kata

Lemur catta

Lemurs group no. 1

Alfréd, Deysi, Zack a Zackita

You can see this group, also colloquially called L4 among the nurses, in the exhibition of the great monkey house. All our lemurs have different origins (private zoo, private individuals, own breeding…). Lemurs in the wild form groups that are intolerant of each other. In our country, all the individuals were gradually divided into three groups, in which they are currently living in peace.

The eyes of lemurs are large, forward facing and have bright yellow glowing irises. On the muzzle is a pointed snout resembling a fox. His end is constantly wet and bare. The forelimbs have bare palms, the thumb is placed against the other fingers, which enables a better grasp of objects. On the second toe of each hind foot is a claw adapted for grooming. The soles are bare, providing good grip when climbing trees and rocks. The kata lemur is characterized by its long striped black-gray tail. A long tail has several functions. When a group of ring-tailed lemurs travels through tall grass, they can see each other’s tails and the whole group keeps track of each other. When a male kata lemur is interested in a female, he perfumes his tail with his scent and wags his tail in front of the female in an attempt to attract her.

The scent glands are present in both sexes – above the wrist joint and secrete a smelly, brown, sticky substance.
