  • It sounded like it was throwing up xD but terrifying nonetheless

  • Um... More of a territorial call. I worked with a troop of them that would all call at once randomly throughout the day. It was always neat to hear them. The Black and White Ruffed Lemur has the second loudest call of any primate, second only to the Howler Monkey.

  • No No, you all have it wrong, thats not a mating call. As you can see at the end the lemur was given a bannana. Thats the, WHERE IS MY BANNANA FOR NOT COUGING OUT YOUR EYES CALL.

  • The calls are contextual and usually in a group, it can be used in many situations.

  • I've heard ruffed lemurs' warning calls in the wild. That is not a warning call.

  • That may not be the mating call. It could be territorial or it could be to warn off potential predators. They still do it if there are only females or only males, or if there are no females on heat or without babies.

  • that was a little disturbing
