Lemurs have relatively weak bites compared to other primates due to their diet, which primarily consists of fruits, leaves, and insects. Their bite force is not particularly strong, typically measuring around 100 to 200 psi (pounds per square inch), depending on the species. This is significantly less than that of larger primates or carnivorous animals, reflecting their herbivorous and omnivorous feeding habits. Overall, while lemurs can bite, their bite is not a primary means of defense or predation.
