Kizzy's plight, the endangered black and white ruffed lemur

The black and white roughed lemur, native to eastern Madagascar's rainforests, faces critical endangerment due to habitat loss from logging. These lemurs, growing up to four feet and weighing around 10 lbs, have thick fur that repels rain. They live in female-dominant groups, primarily in trees, and feed on fruit. Despite having few natural predators, their survival is threatened by accelerated habitat destruction.
