Tik-tik the Ringtailed Lemur

Tik-Tik is an adolescent male ringtailed lemur growing up in a species where females are totally dominant, and young males must emigrate to new troops. Tik-Tik means "Let's go!" in ringtailed lemur sounds. He leaves his mother's troop to travel alone through the cactus-like spiny forest. He fights his rival, Longtooth, and wins the beautiful Feather-Fur. Ringtail social calls appear in context so children can click, meow, purr, howl, squeak, shout war-cries, give alarm calls, and sing the male sunset song.
