They love sunbathing, in the morning hours They sit upright, stretch their limbs and enjoy the sun. They have claws on the second finger of their back limb, on all other fingers there are nails. They use their claws and tooth comb to keep their hair clean. Watch it! Its face is white as well, but the nose and eyes are black.
