The red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) is a strikingly beautiful and critically endangered species of lemur native to the rainforests of northeastern Madagascar. It is known for its vibrant reddish-orange fur, particularly around the body and head, contrasting with its black limbs and face, and its large, expressive eyes.

These lemurs are arboreal (tree-dwelling) and primarily frugivorous, feeding on fruits, nectar, and flowers. They are also important for seed dispersal in their ecosystem. Socially, red ruffed lemurs live in small groups, and their loud, raucous calls can be heard through the forest as a form of communication.

Red ruffed lemurs are critically endangered due to habitat destruction, hunting, and the illegal pet trade. Their population is rapidly declining, and conservation efforts are crucial to protecting their remaining habitats in Madagascar's rainforests.
