Lemur

A lemur is a small primate native to Madagascar, known for its agility and expressive features. They are social animals that inhabit forests, primarily feeding on fruit, leaves, and insects. Lemurs exhibit a variety of sizes and behaviors depending on the species. They are important for their ecosystems, helping with seed dispersal. Lemurs are also notable for their unique evolutionary history, having evolved separately on Madagascar for millions of years. Many species are endangered due to habitat loss and hunting, making them important conservation targets to preserve Madagascar’s biodiversity.
