Lemurs

Caption

This image shows ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta), which live in female dominated groups of up to 25 individuals and frequently form strong social relationships with their group members. These relationships influence how new information and behaviors spread between group members. In turn, successfully learning and using information can shape social relationships, if animals preferentially associate and affiliate with knowledgeable group members.
