| The mammals the researchers studied were the platypus, echidna, opossum, wallaby, hedgehog, mouse, rat, rabbit, cow, pig, bat, tree shrew, colugo, ringtail lemur, and humans. |
| The ringtail lemur, of course, has a beautiful ring tail that they hold up to locate each other in the rain forest. |
| In the shallows where it had spread over its low banks, ringtail found an abundance of food and fed daintily. |
| Larger, darker-furred, and more arboreal than the ringtail, it has pointed ears and nonretractile claws. |
| In this study common ringtail possums appear to show poor regulatory ability when feeding on foliage diets. |
| Stephen Williams studies the mountainous rain forest of north Queensland, Australia, where the northern lemuroid ringtail lives on the verge of extinction. |
