Red ruffed lemurs grooming each other. The red ruffed lemur is a very clean animal and spends a lot of time grooming itself and in social grooming. The lower incisors (front teeth) and the claw on the second toe of the hind foot are specially adapted for this behavior. The lower incisors grow forward in line with each other and are slightly spaced.
Ruffed lemurs are typically described as multi-male groups with a fission-fusion social structure, [11] [13] [19] although this can vary by season and locality. [11] In a study done at Masoala Peninsula on red ruffed lemurs three levels of organization were identified and defined: communities, core groups, and subgroups.

This demonstrates that lemur species such as the lemur catta and the common brown lemur were forced to switch their primary diet to a group of secondary food sources. [ 9 ] With most lemurids, the mother gives birth to one or two young after a gestation period of between 120 and 140 days, depending on species.
