- Newborns come to world with blue eyes, but by the time they grow up, their eyes are bright yellow.
- Ring-tailed lemurs love sunbathing. In the early hours of the morning, they sit upright, spreading their limbs and basking in the sun. They have a claw on the second finger of their hind limb and nails on the other fingers.
- They use their claws and toothcomb to keep their hair clean. His face is white, but his nose and parts around the eyes are black.
