Ring-tailed monkey?

Are we talking about the ring-tailed lemur? BorgQueen (talk) 17:40, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BorgQueen: all the cites call it a "ring-tailed monkey." I would assume that is a ring-tailed lemur but the cites use the term "monkey" not "lemur" so I kept it what the citations say. Found5dollar (talk) 17:59, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
