Fun Fact: Some lemurs, such as Ring-tailed ones, love to sunbathe! They sit upright, facing the sun to warm their bodies on chilly mornings – they're the beach-bums of the jungle!

Fun Fact: When a mother lemur has twins, it's the dad's job to carry them around! He becomes the prime babysitter while mom goes to find food.
