For this action project, I chose the Black and White ruffed lemur (Varecia Variegata). The lemur is from the rainforest. This lemur likes to be around other lemurs and is very sociable, and likes to eat fruit. Some exciting traits about their appearance are that they are black and white and have yellow eyes. This Action Project has to do with our class because we are learning about taxonomy, so for the project, we had to create a physical exhibit (see below). The exhibit had to show the taxonomy for an animal we each chose.
Taxonomic Level | Your organism’s group | Key characteristics of the group |
Kingdom | Animal | They usually have four legs |
Phylum | Chordate | Dorsal supporting rod (notochord), gill slits, and a dorsal nerve cord. |

Order | Primates | specialized behavior, a short muzzle, comparatively poor sense of smell, prehensile five-digit hands and feet possessing flat nails instead of claws, acute vision with depth perception |
Family | Lemuridae | long, bushy tails and soft, woolly fur of varying coloration. |
Genus | Varecia Variegata | black and white ruffed |
