The black-and-white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata) is one of two species of ruffed lemur (Varecia sp.), although there may be as many as three subspecies of the black-and-white variety. Like many other lemur species, the black-and-white ruffed lemur is presently endangered, populations existing at relatively low densities throughout its range on the island of Madagascar.
