Ring-tailed lemur: Get scared! Their life is like an eternal vacation. Secrets of happiness from lemurs (8 photos)

Well, comrades, have you already encountered the autumn blues? When a blanket is your main friend, and hot tea is your only consolation. It's a big deal! Let's instead of being sad, let's forget about everything, like a ring-tailed lemur!





Well, what are you worth? Join us to learn Zen with us!

The dynasty of King Julian caught Nirvana in the most suitable place for this - in Madagascar. Lemurs learned the secrets of total prosperity 60 million years ago. That's when they moved to the island. Around the sea, the sun and dense jungle. And there are also huge prospects for sunbathing, partying and doing absolutely nothing. The main people who don't care about the planet could not have originated anywhere else.



The life of lemurs is like an eternal vacation. All morning they sunbathe in the sun, spreading their paws, like the monks of Tibet. Next on the list of super important things to do is finding a snack. As at any resort, any table for animals becomes Swedish: fruits, insects and small vertebrates - eat it, don’t want it.





But in the evening the real action begins! “A zone for evildoers,” the lemurs say quietly and sleep only half an hour a day. Unfortunately, there is no get-together on the level of King Julian’s first acquaintance with the fugitive foursome.



Firstly, because lemurs cannot have any king, only queens, because they have a total matriarchy. So I had to draw Queen Juliana! And the scale, frankly speaking, is not royal - in one group of lemurs there are rarely more than 20 tails.



To keep warm, lemurs huddle together and form a large super lemur.

But don’t worry, the nocturnal adventures of lemurs will immerse their witnesses in the soul for a long time. The glare of bright orange eyes flickering in the dark. Vague shadows silently jumping from branch to branch to the accompaniment of frightening sounds. A terrible sight. The first European settlers did not particularly appreciate it. Instead of joining the party, they almost moved their horses out of fear and called the lemurs ghosts.



They did not yet know that lemurs are absolutely harmless even to each other. The most serious passions occur during the mating season. And they manage without violent brawls. The most male male is identified by smell. The one who stinks the most is the best. It seems that some men also consider themselves lemurs...



Lemurs have very developed communication. They communicate with each other through voice, facial expressions and smell. Therefore, the way you smell is very important in the lemur world.

The lady doesn't limit herself to just one stinky one. She gathers around herself a whole harem of males. Well, he has fun with them accordingly. But she will give birth to only one cub. The baby is born exactly during the rainy season, when it is easier to feed little things.



The baby is cared for not only by the mother, but also by other females of the pack

However, Madagascar will become a paradise island for the cubs only when they grow up. Yes, the whole family protects them. But fossas, boa constrictors, birds of prey and people live around. The result of such a neighborhood is sad - mini-lemurs lose 40% of their same age. On the path to ugliness and indifference, even lemurs have to suffer and struggle. Because that's life.
