Product Description
Our Stuffed Red-ruffed Lemur This detailed, endearing-looking, stuffed red-ruffed lemur appears cuddly, affectionate and funny. Cute and colorful, our stuffed lemur is 11 inches tall and would love to be part of your family. It fits well into a bedroom setting or will sit quietly (we hope!) on a soft, comfy sofa. This lemur promises to be a good friend for you or any child. This stuffed lemur may remind you how much you enjoy watching real monkeys, (although lemurs aren't technically monkeys), or may create a desire to learn about live wild animals. Check out our fun selection of lemur, and other primate toys and gifts, as well as our large collection of fine stuffed animals.
Lemurs are prosimians. They are primates, but are not as highly evolved as monkeys or great apes. One easily recognizable feature that differs between the lemurs and other primates is the long, almost dog-like nose of the lemurs. Whereas the other primates rely more heavily on vision and hearing, lemurs rely more on their sense of smell. There are 11 species of true lemurs and 7 species of dwarf lemurs. Lemurs are found only in the woodlands on the island of Madagascar, and the Comoro Islands near Madagascar. The red ruffed lemur is known for its reddish coloring and thick neck ruff.
