social

The ring-tailed Lemur is probably the most social mammal I have ever heard of - I think I can say animal, other types of animals are not that social anyways. They like to live in big groups - wonder if I can join! And just so they can follow each other in the jungles of Madagascar, their habitat, they have long tails with these rings on them. Evolution at its extent!
They also use their tails as a means to spread their scent in mating season. None of the other thirty-something types of Lemurs have such decorated tails and neither of them live in such big groups!
Oh, one more thing, they sunbathe and walk on the ground which is rear for Lemurs.
