Lemur

A lemur is a primate endemic to the island of Madagascar. They are known for their large, reflective eyes, long tails, and unique vocalizations. 🐒

Lemurs have a variety of physical characteristics, but most have a pointed snout, a long tail, and large eyes that are adapted for nocturnal vision. Their fur can be a variety of colors, from gray and brown to red and white. They have grasping hands and feet, and some species, like the ring-tailed lemur, have a distinct, long, black-and-white striped tail.

Lemurs are only found on the island of Madagascar and a few small neighboring islands. They live in a variety of habitats, including rainforests, dry deciduous forests, and spiny deserts. They are primarily herbivores, with a diet of fruits, leaves, flowers, and nectar, but some species will also eat insects and small invertebrates.

Lemurs are highly social animals that live in groups called troops. They communicate with a variety of calls, including howls, grunts, and chirps. Lemurs are an endangered species, with many species facing extinction due to habitat loss from deforestation and hunting.
