In the lead final paragraph, mention the zoos and other facilities (including
Duke Lemur Center and
Berenty Reserve) most involved in conserving this species.
The taxonomy section is confusing, in that it mentions lemurs are included with tarsiers among prosimians but does not mention that tarsiers are excluded from Strepsirrhini. Furthermore, the above are tangents. Delete these and other tangents. Just say this species is in the genus Lemur, and explain the major circumscriptions of Lemur. Avoid the temptation to treat a new taxonomy as a "true at last" taxonomy.
twenty-five to twenty-seven black and white transverse stripes and always begins with a white stripe and ends with a black one are contradictory. The second quote requires that there be an even number of rings, half white, half black. Correct this paragraph.
New subsection on tail included, along with a clarrification about the stripes.
I do not know of any images showing the reflective nature of their
tapetum lucidum, and I don't feel it should be a requirement since all lemurs have it. (Consequently, we'd need a photo showing it for every lemur species.) However, I will try to find a photo showing a lemur's reflective eyes for the
Lemur or
Strepsirrhini page.
I have also added a photo of a Ring-tailed Lemur handstand for scent-marking. Hopefully, that will enrich the visual content of the page sufficiently.
