Black-and-white ruffed lemur  (Varecia variegata)

Pollinator: An animal that in the act of visiting a plant's flowers transfers pollen grains from the stamen (male part of a flower) to the stigma (female part of a flower) of a flowering plant. This usually leads to fertilisation, the development of seeds and, eventually, a new plant.
Primary: Primary forest is forest that has remained undisturbed for a long time and has reached a mature condition.
Secondary: Secondary forest is regenerating forest that has not yet reached the mature state of primary forest.
Subspecies: A population usually restricted to a geographical area that differs from other populations of the same species, but not to the extent of being classified as a separate species.
