Lemur diets depend on the species. Most lemur species specialize on eating fruits and/or insects, while also eating some leaves and other material. Sifakas, indri, woolly lemurs, and sportive lemurs primarily eat leaves. Fork-marked lemurs also eat tree sap in addition to insects.
Lemurs
The Indri (Indri indri) is the only living species with a short tail. Of the recently extinct (subfossil) lemurs, several species had short tails, including:4 genera of sloth lemurs (Palaeopropithecus, Archaeoindris, Babakotia, Mesopropithecus)1 genus of koala lemur (Megaladapis)1 genus of monkey lemur (Hadropithecus)
They can range in size ("total body length") from about 10 inches (25 cm) in the case of the tiny mouse lemurs up to about 4 feet (120 cm) in the case of one of the largest living lemurs, the Indri.
Lemurs range in size from between 30 and 60 grams (mouse lemurs, the smallest primates in the world) to the recently extinct subfossil lemurs, which reached sizes of 160 to 200 kg (350 to 440 lb), approximately the size of a female gorilla. The largest living lemur species are the Indri (Indri indri) and the Diademed Sifaka (Propithecus diadema), both weighing between 6 and 9 kg (13 to 20 lb).
a lemur! haven't you seen the film 'Madagascar'? actually there are five species of primates in Madagascar and all are lemurs - perhaps the answer you are looking for is indri?
Lemurs eat about 1/2 lbs a day
It depends on the species. Some species weigh as little as 30 grams or 1.1 oz (mouse lemurs) up to 9.5 kilograms or 21 lb (the indri). Recently extinct giant lemurs used to weigh between 10 to 200 kg (22 to 440 lb).
Lemurs eat grasses, leaves, fruits, flowers, seeds, and sages.
The lemurs that specialize in eating fruit would eat a raspberry.
They eat Lemurs
There are numerousspeciesof lemurs, but the largest living lemur is the Indri (Indri indri)of the montane forests of eastern Madagascar thatuse their elongated, posterior legs to propel themselves into the air up to 10 m (33 ft) from tree limb to tree limb. But each lemur species is distinctive in their leaping capabilities.Mark M. Ward BS/PSY
