Ring-Tailed Lemur, A Felt Monkey Ornament (OrnaMonkey)

Description

Back by popular demand — the much loved Monkey of the Month felt monkey ornaments.

*****************************

NOTE: This is a re-release of the popular October 2007 monkey.

This is the ring-tailed lemur, a small prosimian "monkey" that lives in Madagascar, an island off the east coast of Africa. Ring-tailed lemurs are well known for their charismatic tails. They are also one of the very few primate species in which females are dominant. Lemur ladies are tough little cookies who engage in "stink fights." They mark their territory with scented glands in their limbs and vigorously defend it during stink fights. When chillin' after a fight, they are known to sit like people and bathe in the sun. Madagascar is the only place in the world where lemurs live in the wild. Most of them are threatened with extinction because of habitat loss.


*****************************

Each Orna-Monkey ornament will come with a bio-blurb so you can collect them all and at the same time, learn a bit about the beautiful diversity of primates from a real primatologist (me).

SIZE: 3x5 inches (not including ribbon)

Recommended uses:
Hang on a tree, in a window, pinned or hung on a bag, purse, backpack or hung from door nobs, cabinet nobs, even your rear view mirror. This is one monkey you'll love all year long.

HOW IS THIS RECYCLED?
The felt used in the OrnaMonkeys is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.
