Lemuridae

The Family Lemuridae is a group of primates found only on the island of Madagascar. Lemurs have unique characteristics that set them apart from other primates, including their large, expressive eyes and long, furry tails. There are more than 100 species of lemurs, ranging in size from as small as a mouse to as large as a small dog. They are known for their diverse diets, including everything from fruit and leaves to insects and small animals. Unfortunately, many species of lemurs are endangered due to habitat loss and hunting. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these fascinating creatures and their unique island ecosystem.
