The ring tailed lemur is known as the sun worshipper

Finally met the legendary “Sun worshiper” yoga meditation master ring tail lemur

.

Ring tailed lemur is an animal of primate, Lemuridae and lemur genus

.

The head is small, the forehead is low, and the ears are large

.

Both ears have a lot of hair

.

The two sides of the head are also covered with long hair

.

The kisses are long and protruding, and the lower incisors are comb shaped, making the whole face look like a fox

.

It is named because of the link markings on the tail

.

Its body is more like a monkey, back hair is light gray brown, abdomen is gray white

.

The forehead, the back of the ear and the cheek are white, which is in sharp contrast with the black snout and eye circles

.

It’s very interesting

.

During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, the ring tailed lemur appeared in the painting of Jiaozhi by the famous Italian missionary painter Lang shining

.

The long tail of lemur with 11-12 black and white rings, like a flag composed of black and white stripes, is its unique feature

.

When ring tailed lemurs are active, their beautiful ring tailed lemurs often stand up high, which is very eye-catching

.

They can be found even in distant places

.

This is a signal that ring tailed lemurs keep in touch with each other when roaming in high grass or forest

.

The tail of the ring tailed lemur can also emit odor in the air

.

Each odor is as easy to distinguish as a human fingerprint, indicating the different status of its owner in the group

.

Therefore, the individual with broken tail will be in a very disadvantageous state in the group

.

The ring tailed lemur’s hind limbs are longer than its forelimbs, so it has strong climbing, running and jumping abilities

.

It can jump 9 meters between branches

.

Its palms and soles are covered with long hair, which can increase the friction when taking off and landing, so as not to slip

.

Ring tailed lemurs can even walk upright like human beings

.

The balance function of long tailed lemurs can not be ignored

.

But because of its short, weak forelimbs, the ring tailed lemur falls back on its head and feet when it gets out of the tree

.

The ring tailed lemur is a more terrestrial lemur, belonging to diurnal animals, and is the only one that moves in the daytime

.

Gentle temperament, usually like to get together in groups activities

.

Ring tailed lemurs feed on leaves, flowers, fruits and insects

.

They are sexually mature at the age of 3 years, and most of them are twins

.

In mammals, the breeding period is the shortest, only two weeks a year, and the life span is about 18 years

.

There are three odor glands in the body of ring tailed lemurs, which are distributed in the anus and armpit

.

They can secrete a kind of pungent body fluid as a sign of road and territory

.

One of them is male and female, and grows inside the wrist joint

.

The glands of male monkeys are more developed than those of female monkeys

.

In addition to being used as a tool to fight for females in breeding season, it can also be used as a weapon to resist enemies

.

When foreign enemies invade, the ring tailed lemurs bend their arms and rub their tails against their wrists and armpits to volatilize body fluids

.

The tail keeps swinging and fans the odor to the enemy

.

It is said that the effect is quite obvious

.

The male’s gland development directly determines its position in the monkey group, so ring tailed lemurs attach great importance to health and often comb each other’s hair

.

The ring tailed lemur is a matriarchal clan, so in the ring tailed lemur population, the female is in charge of the command of the family

.

Ring tailed lemurs spend 3-4 hours a day on the ground picking fruit, drinking from a fixed water source, and often licking the dew on the grass, but never far away from the woods

.

When drinking water, the male must let the female and the cubs finish drinking water first, otherwise they will be driven away by the female

.

  The estrous mating of ring tailed lemurs occurs mostly from November to December

.

In order to attract the attention of potential mating partners, male ring tailed lemurs adopt a peculiar method of “odor flirting” to improve the success rate of courtship

.

First, they grab their tails and rub the scent glands on their wrists

.

Then they shake their tails up and down like a fan to blow the scent to the female

.

It seems that the female is more likely to accept such a courtship

.

The dominant male lemurs also blow the odor to their competitors in the process of “odor flirting”, causing fierce conflicts

.

Meditation, in English, refers to the meaning of meditation

.

It is a skill and way to achieve meditation in yoga

.

It completely focuses on the heart, mind and spirit in the primitive beginning; The ultimate goal is to lead to the state of liberation

.

The ring tailed lemur is a master of yoga and meditation in the animal world

.

In their spare time, ring tailed lemurs often sit cross legged on wood or stone, facing the sun and meditating calmly, with their palms up, so that the warm sunshine spreads all over their chest, abdomen, arms and thighs, as if they are in a state of yoga meditation, so they are called “sun worshippers”

.

Look, the ring tailed lemur in front of us is entering a state of yoga meditation

.

Even if we take a picture of it around, it will not look up and pay attention to it

.

It is still immersed in its transcendental world of yoga meditation  ( Some professional descriptions and pictures are from the Internet; For more wonderful pictures, please pay attention to my Sina blog: http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/6046362147 )。
