Ring-tailed lemurs sat atop the treetops, gazing at the exclamatory visitors below, but soon they leapt down from the trees and began to run about on the ground.
They too had been transported from other zoos and had grown accustomed to these creatures known as visitors.
If the visitors were closer, perhaps the lemurs would have examined them with curious caution, but separated by such a wide expanse of water, they seemed not to care much about the visitors, behaving as if they were in their natural environment, going about whatever they were doing.
The vegetation on the island wasn't dense! There were clear gaps between the trees, allowing a clear view of the ring-tailed lemurs hopping and scurrying between the isles.
From a distance, one ring-tailed lemur hopped across the ground like a rabbit several times, then nimbly leapt onto a shaded rock under a tree and took a few unhurried steps.
