How do lemurs survive in the rainforest?

Answer 1

Ring-tailed lemurs do not live in rain forests. Instead, they live in deciduous forests, dry scrub, and gallery forests (forests along riverbanks). They are the most terrestrial (ground-living) of the living lemur species, so they don't spend all of their time in trees.

Answer 2

The ring tailed lemur is native to Madagascar. Because of the diversity of the climate, these lemurs are found mostly in the southern area of the island in the lower canopy of the rainforest and brush

Answer 3

All the different species of Lemurs have different ways of surviving. Some Lemurs fatten up during the rainy season and sleep during the dry season (called "torpor", like hibernation). The ring-tailed lemur has a striped tail so that troop members don't get lost as they wander around the forest floor. Lemurs have strong hands and fingers to help them to climb trees easily. Their muscular legs are adapted for jumping in case they need to jump from tree to tree or, like the Sifaka Lemur, to bound across open spaces to new, safe ground. Other Lemurs adapt to eating different foods, like the Bamboo Lemur, which has adapted to eating Bamboo even though a great many other species of Lemurs can't digest it.

Answer 4

Some lemur species live in rainforests, but others live in dry, deciduous forests or even spiny scrubland. The rainforest in Madagascar extends along the east coast of the island, and the species found there include sifakas, mouse lemurs, indri, and many more.

Answer 5

because of their interior structure of their deteriorated spines which helps them climb the trees of the jungle.

Answer 6

because they like to live in wet and humid place like swamp, ponds, and lakes.

Answer 7

The rainforest has many trees. A desert has few trees. So it's not surprising that tree frogs live in the rainforest.
