		The Varecia is distributed from Cape Masoala in the North-East to the Manakara region in the South-Eastern.
		The Varecia is the second biggest lemur (its body measures about 60 cm and its tail 60cm) after the Indri indri (Babakoto in Malagasy), whose body length can reach up to one meter.
		Varecias live in a group of six to eight individuals, sometimes of only three composed of a couple with its offspring.

		It may be possible to use Varecia as an indicator to assess the degree of habitat disruption in a given area.
		Varecia are the only diurnal primates in the world to keep their infants in a nest.
		Hence, eight wild born, unrelated fl and white ruffs, Varecia variegata variegata were imported into the United States in 1996 from a confiscated population in Madagascar which had been held at Zoo Ivoloina.

		A second objective was to cross-fertilize work being done in the wild with that being done in captivity, with the aim of advancing a common conservation mission for this critically endangered genus.
		Varecia is a prime candidate for synthetic assessments such as these because it has now been studied in both the northern and southern reaches of its geographic range, and has also been the focus of a captive-to-wild reinforcement project.

		Reproductive success was then calculated for each group as the total number of infants born in the group, divided by half of the number of adults in the group.
		Varecia infants are born in the dry season around October, and remain in a nest for about 3 months following birth (Morland 1990).
		This birth interval may be due to the fact that Varecia regularly give birth to several infants at once and often successfully raise more than one in the wild, which requires a greater expenditure of energy than for those prosimians who raise a single infant with an interbirth interval of one year (Tattersall 1982).

	Primate of the Week - Black-and-White Ruffed Lemur
		Varecia variegata variegata inhabits lowland to mid-altitude (1200 m) eastern rain forests from the Mananara River south of Farafangana north to the Antainambalana River (just north of Maroantsetra).
		Varecia variegata variegata is found in a number of protected areas: the Mantady, Tanomafana and Verzanatsoro National Parks, the Angringitra, Betampona and Zahamena Nature Reserves, and the Ambatovaky, Analamazaotra and Nosy Mangave Special Reserves (Pollock, 1984; Nicoll and Langrand, 1989; Harcourt and Thornback, 1990; Morland, 1990, 1991; Mittermeier et al., 1992).
		Based on its low estimated population numbers and the fact that it is a popular target for hunters, Varecia variegata variegata was given a High Priority rating (5) in the IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group's Lemurs of Madagascar: An Action Plan for their Conservation (Mittermeierer et al., 1992).

	Varicia varigata varigata
		Varecia variegata variegata groups are territorial and defend those territories.
		Varecia variegata variegata is found in the rainforests of the east coast of Madagascar.
		They are very sensitive to habitat disturbance and seem to depend on the presence of large, old-growth fruit trees for much of their diet.

		I have had experience with ruffed lemurs, (Varecia spp.), ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta), and with fl lemurs (Lemur macaco).
		The ruffed lemurs (Varecia spp.) have been grouped with the genus Lemur in the past but now they are separated as comprising a different genus, Varecia.

	NEWS FROM THE ZOOS
		In cooperation with Malagasy authorities, the Madagascar Fauna Group (MFG), an international consortium of 30 zoological institutions, is moving forward with plans to re-stock fl-and-white ruffed lemurs (Varecia variegata variegata) at the Natural Reserve of Betampona, a small (2,228 ha) reserve in eastern Madagascar.
		Betampona is the sole forested mountain range in a vast region where eastern lowland forest has been lost to cultivation.
		A small Varecia population, at least eight other lemur taxa, and many bird, reptile and other species will all benefit from increased protection brought by the project.
