Ring-tailed lemurs are just as suited to life on the ground as up in the trees,
0:04
and that makes them far more adaptable than most of Madagascar's lemurs.
0:12
Several troops of ring-tails manage to make a living in these highlands.
0:23
Some of the luckier ones occupy a more sheltered valley
0:26
where a few trees have managed to take root.
0:32
Morning fog condensing on leaves
0:35
is an important source of water.
0:42
Although the mornings still have a chill to them,
0:44
life here seems more relaxed.
0:52
But also more crowded.
1:03
Pied crows need to be moved on,
1:06
not least because there are some vulnerable arrivals in the troop.
1:15
Almost every female is carrying an infant,
1:18
an indication that life is comparatively easy up here.
1:28
With more protection from the elements
1:31
and a little more food,
1:33
this troop is particularly large
1:36
and can devote plenty of time to their social lives.
1:54
One female even has twins…
2:01
..a rare event amongst ring-tail lemurs
2:04
and a direct result of a good food supply.
2:09
But this valley troop still has to work hard
2:12
to collect food in this broken landscape.
2:18
Few lemurs are such good rock-climbers.
2:42
There's a real bonanza at this time of year.
2:46
While some gather canopy fruits,
2:48
the mother of the twins stays lower
2:51
and gathers fresh leaves.
2:56
The young are born during the fruiting season,
2:59
when demands on the mothers are heaviest.
