Collectible fridge magnet of a Black and White Ruffed Lemur

Black & White Ruffed Lemurs (Lemur variegatus variegatus) inhabit the lowland rain forests of Madagascar. These primates get their name from the ruff of long, thick fur that runs from around the ears to under the chin. Their fur is thick, silky and colored black and white, in a patchy pattern that may serve as camouflage against the patches of sun and shade in their rainforest habitat. Ruffed lemurs are among the largest of living lemur species growing to 1.5 - 2 feet (head and body) and weighing 7 - 10 pounds. Lemurs are of the suborder prosimians and in Latin this means “before apes”.

The magnet measures 2.5” x 3.5” (6.35 x 8.89cm) with a metal shell, mylar/UV protecting cover and flat magnetic back. The artwork is a reproduction of an original line art drawing by wildlife illustrator Roger Hall.
