Black and White ruffed lemur

 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.
