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. In some cases, they find the fruits lying on the ground. Some lemurs eat tree sap, and to access it, they gouge the tree with their front teeth. Other lemurs are omnivores, eating both plant material and small insects, bird eggs, etc. These can be found in the trees as well.
