I always tell people to volunteer at a wildlife rehab center that has the animal they want. If they can survive a year handling an animal that probably has behavioral problems because of poor handling (and a major reason why exotics are given up in the first place), and they still want the animal, then they have earned the right to do so in my book.
Anybody unwilling to spend that kind of time getting experience is unworthy of such an undertaking, but those that succeed are.

We did not evolve from lemurs, but rather share a common ancestor dating roughly 63 million years ago. Lemurs are strepsirhines a name referring to prosimians that diverge from tarsiers. We however are haplorhines, as are our more closely related cousins, chimpanzees and great apes.

i think its just a bad idea to have those animals as a pet ..they need so much space and nature;in addition they live in goups

@cannibalcarrot666 tarsiers are more closely related to anthropoids than prosimians...

@majesstik6 yes, housing and providing proper care and social learning for lemurs is incredibly expensive. I study lemur ecology and have husbandry experience with multiple lemur species. ring-tailed lemurs are quite adorable, but are best left in existing social groups.

I hope that this is one of at least 3 ring-tailed lemurs in your care and that they have sufficient space to free range, otherwise you will have a very aggressive, nimble problem on your hands in 1-2 years...
