crowned lemur
eulemur coronatus latin

Sanford's brown lemur is reported to associate with the crowned lemur during the wet season, a time of greater food availability.

The crowned lemur is endemic to the dry deciduous forests of the northern tip of Madagascar.

The crowned lemur is in the order of Primates as it possesses characteristics such as pseudo-opposable thumbs, binocular vision and is highly intelligent.

The adjacent old Chough aviary area is now home to Crowned lemur and Madagascar Narrow-striped mongoose.

The crowned lemur possesses a long non-prehensile tail used for balance when jumping from branch to branch and for communication within the closely knit, female-led social group.

Primates at the zoo include orangutan, white-handed gibbon, black-handed spider monkey, black-and-white ruffed lemur, ringtailed lemur, crowned lemur, and cottontop tamarin.

The Ankarana Reserve is an important refuge for significant populations of the crowned lemur (Eulemur coronatus) Sanford's brown lemur (Eulemur sanfordi) and other mammal species.

Lemurs occurring here are the Crowned Lemur, Northern Sportive Lemur, Gray Mouse Lemur and Sanford's Brown Lemur.

The tufts on the Sanford's lemur may be white to cream to rufous, though it is suspected that the darker or rufous variations may be results of hybridization between this species and the crowned lemur which is within the same home range.

Primates: Mongoose Lemur, Sclater's Lemur, Common Chimpanzee, Vervet Monkey, King Colobus, Black Lemur, Ring-tailed Lemur, Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur, Crowned Lemur, Red-bellied Lemur.

Male crowned lemurs (Eulemur coronatus), on the other hand, will only act submissively when females act aggressively towards them.
