My second week is done! And as my placement is split in to three sections of six, over four weeks, I am past halfway. This week has been a lot more enrichment based, not only making creative ways to hide food for Squirrel Monkeys Simia sciureus but also Lemurs and Lorikeets. Out of these the Lemurs are one of my favourite areas. With four different species, all with distinct personality traits, it’s a hard section to get bored on. The first, most well known species, is of course the Ring Tail Le

The crowned lemur (Eulemur coronatus) is one of the smaller species of the Lemuridae family, with a body length of about 31 – 36 cm, the size of a small house cat, and a body weight of 1.5 - 1.8 kg. The only place crowned lemurs can be found is in the dry forests of the northern tip of Madagascar (Africa) where they use their 42 – 51 long tails to balance as they leap around the canopy. They can be found at altitudes between sea level and 1,400 m. This species has a distinctive brown-orange crown on the top of the head. Females have a gray body with an orange crown, and males are a darker reddish brown, crowned with black and orange. This lemur is found in groups that include adults of both sexes, together with infants and juveniles. The groups range in size from five to up to 15 animals, with groups of 5 - 6 being the norm. The major component of the diet of crowned lemurs diet seems to be fruits. During the wet season, crowned lemurs occationally eat leaves as well. Crowned lemurs have a life span of approximately 20 years. The population of the crowned lemur is classified as vulnerable by the IUCN. De kroonmaki (Eulemur coronatus) is een halfaap uit de familie van de maki's of lemuren (Lemuridae). Deze halfapen zijn endemische op het eiland Madagaskar (Afrika), waar de soort leeft in bergbossen, regenwouden en drogere bossen in het uiterste noorden tot op een hoogte van 1400 meter boven de zeespiegel. De kroommaki behoort tot de wat kleinere soorten echte maki's. Er is verschil tussen het mannetje en het vrouwtje (seksueel dimorfisme). Het mannetje heeft een grijsbruine vacht van boven en is lichtgrijs op de buik en de borst. Het gezicht is lichtgrijs, de spitse snuit is zwart. Kenmerkend is een oranje gekleurd en V-vormig patroon op de kop, dat van boven door de donkere vachtkleur op de kop duidelijk wordt afgegrensd; verder heeft het mannetje oranje bakkebaarden. Het vrouwtje heeft een lichtere, grijze vacht, geen zwart op de kop en geen oranje bakkebaarden. Een volwassen kroonmaki een kop-romplengte van 31 tot 36 cm, een staartlengte van 42 tot 51 cm en een lichaamsgewicht van 1,5 tot 1,8 kg. Het is een bosbewoner die zowel ’s nachts als overdag actief is. Hij beweegt zich niet alleen hoog in de boomkronen, maar komt ook lager en op de grond om daar gevallen vruchten te verzamelen, aarde te eten en om zich snel te verplaatsen. De kroonmaki leeft in familiegroepjes, bestaande uit gemiddeld 5 tot 6 exemplaren, maximaal tot 15 individuen. De maximale levensverwachting is 20 jaar. De kroonmaki is kwetsbaar door de vernietiging van zijn leefgebied door zwerflandbouw, productie van houtskool, mijnbouw en door illegale houtkap. Ook wordt er op gejaagd voor het vlees. Daarom staat de kroonmaki als kwetsbaar op de internationale rode lijst. ___________________________________________________________________________ All rights reserved.
