∙ 14y agoYes, the lemurs are a type of prosimian (="pre-monkey") primate. Within the order primates, there are two suborders: Haplorrhini (tarsiers, monkeys, & apes) and Strepsirrhini (lemurs, lorises, and bushbabies). Therefore, lemurs are a type of strepsirrhine primate belonging to the infraorder Lemuriformes. All lemurs are endemic to (found only on) the island of Madgascar.
