What are the adaptation of the lemur?

Answer 1

Even as a proffessor of anatomy at Sydney University, I have extensively studied a broad range of animals, including the colugo (flying lemur), however i only know of three adaptations. 2 of which are structural and one behavioral adaptation which could also be physiological. The two structural adaptations of the colugo of South East Asia are its large eyes which allow it to see and hunt more efficiently at night and the membrane (patagium) that goes around its whole body allowing it to glide from tree to tree and hunt more efficiently. The behavioral adaptation is that the colugo is nocturnal, yet this could possibly even be a physiological adaptation on the colugo, not a change in its behaviour in response to different foods available in different times throughout the day and night. If anyone has 1 more behavioral adaptation it would really help me out as a student asked me the same thing and I would prefer to not look a fool. So if anyone knows another behavioral adaptation of the colugo (flying lemur) of South-East Asia please post it

OMG i cant belive that coolieo

Not sure about behavioral but camouflage counts as an adaptation, right?

??

^_^If you are a professor of anatomy, shouldn't you be reading primary literature to determine the behavioral / structural / physiological adaptations of mammals?

Answer 2

Almost all lemurs are seasonal breeders so that their babies are weaned at a time of maximum food availability. Aside from that, most behavioral adaptations vary by species, and there are over 100 species of lemur.
