Wooly lemurs live in forests and jungles on Madagascar. They eat mostly leaves, with some buds or flowers. Sice leaves are hard to digest, they need to take long naps to digest their food. Wooly lemurs live in monogamous pairs with their immature offspring.
Wooly lemurs have short wooly fur, brown or reddish in color with white on the bcks of the thighs and a long orange tail. They cling to vertical trunks and branches, and move about by jumping from trunk to trunk or branch to branch. They rarely go down to the ground, when they do they move by means of awkward sideways bipedal hops.
