Red Ruffed Lemur (Varecia rubra)
Image by cliff1066™
The Duke Lemur Center has recorded about twelve different calls. The Red Ruffed Lemur and Black-and-White Ruffed Lemur understand each other's calls, despite living in different parts of Madagascar. Scent marking is also an important means of communication. Unlike all other diurnal primates, females build nests 30-60ft off the forest floor, made with twigs, leaves, vines, and fur. Breeding takes place from May to July. Ruffed lemurs are also the only primates with litters of young, and, after a gestation period of 102 days, the female may give birth to up to six, although two or three is more typical.
Backyard Crow

The neighbourhood crows have begun to perch on trees around the backyard with increasing frequency, particularly if I haven't gone out front to share peanuts yet that day, but they almost never land down in the yard itself, which is where all the treats have been scattered about for the smaller birds and squirrels. I don't know if the yard feels too enclosed for their liking, if they're simply trying to announce their presence in effort to prompt front yard feeding, or something else entirely. It's fascinating to watch them perch back there and carefully observe their surroundings while all of the other animals are happily foraging down below.
