For lemurs it is not usual for them to eat meat, as they do not crave meat, they are herbivores normally feeding on leaves and tree branches. But if the lemur is starving and comes across meat they will eat it, as most animals will , but a lemur is not a predator and will not stalk a live animal to feed on.

Lemurs are mostly herbivores, eating mostly fruits and leaves. Therefore they spend time in trees and visit the ones producing the best food when they are in season.

Other lemurs are omnivores, eating both plant material and small insects, bird eggs, etc. These can be found in the trees as well.
