0:00Red ruffed lemurs are big and noisy.

0:06THESE TROOPERS HIT THE JACKPOT. Two

0:09trees, a fig and a harami, practically

0:11next door to each other and both loaded

0:14with ripe fruit.

0:18With so few seed-eating birds on the

0:21island, the trees rely on lemurs like

0:23the red ruffs to disperse their seeds

0:25through the forest.

0:32After gorging all morning, the clan

0:34settles down nearby to sleep off their

0:36lunch.

0:47But while most doze, one lemur stays

0:50behind.

0:51It's his job to guard the trees from

0:53fruit robbers.

0:58And in such a rich forest, a fruiting

1:00tree quickly becomes a magnet for other

1:02interested parties.

1:10Madagascar green pigeons are quickly

1:12seen off.

1:15A vasa parrot has slipped in under the

1:18lemur's guard.

1:21But it makes little impact on the supply

1:24of figs.

1:34Others need to be watched more

1:35carefully.

1:44A gang of white-fronted brown lemurs has

1:46spotted the fruiting trees and want to

1:49share.

1:59The males have striking white caps and

2:02they lead the raid.

2:25It takes the red-ruffed guardian a while

2:28to catch on to what's happening.

2:42The brown lemurs are quick and agile.

2:51And with 10 of them and one of him, it's

2:54not that easy to get control of the

2:55situation.

3:21By the time he has finally seen them

3:23off, the rest of the clan are on their

3:25way back to feed in the harami tree.

3:47With food just an arm's length away,

3:49these particular lemurs appear to be

3:51living the good life, at least for the

3:54moment.
