about lemurs™
HIYYA! Well, since Lemurs are my fave animal, I decided to make a little page about them! Thanks to Tiny for the idea and Lissanoel for the idea of adding pictures of Lemurs!
PLEASE FEAST YOUR EYEBALLS ON CUTE, WITTLE, OR BIG, STRONG LEMURS!

You guys know the movie “Madagascar” ? Well, some types of Lemurs DO live on that Island! There are 50 species of Lemurs and 17 types of Lemurs are sadly on the endangered species list . . . The gross, but cool fact about the Lemurs’ body parts is that, they are social animals with long limbs, flexible toes, flexible fingers, and they have long noses!
Many people do need to clear parts of islands and countries where animals make there homes and rest in peace . . . Until somebody barges in, and destroys there homes for farm lands, buildings and more un-needed stuff! The habitat loss today is a threat to lemurs, even today as people clear the forests for farm lands and work buildings. Here’s a chart of where they live, what they eat and more!
…
Physical Description : The lemur is a kind of primate, which means it is related to apes and humans. You would never know it could be related in anyway though! There are many kinds of lemurs, but most have long, pointy noses, which contribute to their excellent sense of smell. Each type of lemur looks very different. They vary color from reddish brown to gray, and come in all different sizes, too. The smallest lemur, the pygmy mouse lemur, weighs only one ounce. But the biggest lemurs, the Indri and Diademed Sifaka lemurs, can weigh up o fifteen pounds, which is about as much as a big cat.
Communication : Lemurs use their sense of smell to communicate with each other. These primates have scent glands on their bottoms and on their feet that leave odors on any surface they walk on. When other lemurs pass by, they smell those odors and can tell that another lemur has been there. Lemurs have big, bushy tails that they wave in the air as another form of communication. These big tails also help lemurs balance when they leap from tree to tree or branch to branch!
Habits : Most lemurs are arboreal, which means they spend most of their time in trees and bushes. They have a good grip for hanging on to branches. Only the Ringtail lemur spends most of its time on the ground. Usually lemurs that are awake during the day live in groups. Besides using scent glands and tails to communicate, they also make noises. Nocturnal lemurs, that are active at night, tend to live alone with no group or family.
Range & Habitat : All lemurs are found only in Madagascar (an island off the coast of Africa, also like the move “Madagascar”), and the neighboring Comores Islands. But on these islands, lemurs live in a variety of habitats. Some live in moist, tropical rainforests, while others live in dry desert areas.
Take a look below at the mini map ! :
Reproduction and Rearing : When lemurs are born, they are carried in their mothers’ mouths until they are old enough to hang on to her fur by themselves. Most lemurs live for about eighteen years.
Diet : Lemurs usually have a vegetarian diet (Which means, No Meat!), consisting of leaves and fruit, although they will sometimes eat insects or smaller animals.
Status : Out of the fifty different kinds of lemurs, ten of those types are critically endangered, seven are endangered, and nineteen are considered vulnerable.
Conservation & Ecology : Lemurs play an important role in the ecology of Madagascar and the Comores Islands, because they disperse seeds from the fruit they eat.( The seeds they eat in the fruit, get ‘pooped’ out and replanted into the earth!). These seeds can then grow into new plants, which is important because the forests of Madagascar are being destroyed at a very high rate.
Lemurs are threatened largely because their habitats are being destroyed. People in Madagascar cut down the forests there to use the wood, and to grow agricultural crops in its place. In fact, eighty percent of the lemur’s original habitat in Madagascar has been destroyed. Although the lemurs themselves help to disperse seeds for new plants, they cannot keep up with the people that cut the forests down. Lemur populations are also hurt by hunting. Fortunately, however, all types of lemurs are protected by CITES, which makes it illegal hunt or capture lemurs for trade, except for scientific research, and to breed in zoos. These laws are well-enforced, and the lemur has been a long-time focus of conservation efforts. But although the lemurs are no longer being hunted as much as in the past, deforestation is still threatening their survival.

Think of all the Lemurs getting killed by the destruction of the forests, please consider forest destruction a so called, “No, No’ !

wow! SWEET!!!!i need to do that on desserts and monkehs!
Laster isn’t it called deforestation?
you want whot all
Yes I agree with you!
Very useful and informative text !
I read several “good blogs” everyday (The Big Picture is among them). What I find is that when you click on the people who tend to be the most critical and who are downright rude, you find that these people have neither a website, nor a blog of their own, just some generic email account.
