With his striped tail and bright yellow eyes, Lionel the Lemur is a firm favourite in the menagerie. Although there are many species of lemur, the ring-tailed lemur is possibly the most recognisable whether you have seen one in their natural habitat or at the zoo. Did you now that ring-tailed lemurs flirt with their tails, and they have unique teeth that they use to groom themselves and other members of their ‘troop’.

This cute crochet animal project forms part of our Edward’s Menagerie collection of amigurumi crochet toys designed by Kerry Lord. This amigurumi crochet animal kit contains our luxurious pure wool DK yarn and an easy-to-follow downloadable pattern with video links for all the techniques.
