Ring-tailed Lemurs
The Ring-tailed Lemur is highly social, living in ‘troops’ led by a dominant female. They use their long, vividly striped, black-and-white tails like a flag so members of the troop can keep a track of where everyone is when travelling along the ground.

Red Panda
The Red Panda lives high in the treetops of the Himalayas. They enjoy their alone time as they are solitary by nature. In the winter months to keep themselves warm, the Red Panda wrap their large bushy tails around themselves, and their slow metabolism helps them cope when food is scarce.

Capybaras
Capybaras are the largest rodent in the world. They stand 50cm tall and can weigh up 70kg. They are semi-aquatic and have partially webbed feet making them great swimmers. Their eyes, ears, and nostrils are located at the top of their head, which helps them keep most of their bodies below the water like a hippopotamus.
