By request, a photo of my parents' black-and-white ruffed lemur, LB (short for "Little Bit" or "Leader of the Bounders" -- both are appropriate).
This was taken shortly after my parents got her, when she was just a baby; she's a big beautiful girl now, but I don't have any really recent photos of her. I'll have to fix that the next time I visit my folks!
**Please don't use as stock -- thanks!**

You need three things to own a lemur: a lot of time, a lot of money, and a lot of space. My parents, fortunately, have all three, so LB is a great pet for them, but I wouldn't recommend owning a lemur to 99.9% of the population. I know my husband and I wouldn't be able to give one the time and attention that it would deserve. She's great fun to play with when we visit my folks, though! :)
They can, at least here in Florida, but they require a permit as well as an enclosure built to or exceeding certain specifications, and they're not a pet that I would recommend to most people. Lemurs are cool, but they're a huge responsibility, and most people don't have the time, money, and room that a lemur needs in order to live a happy life.
