Lemur teeth are like cat teeth: The canine teeth are long and sharp, and they pierce the skin easily. Because there are bacteria in the mouth, the wound can become badly infected, and it is not uncommon for the infection to move into the blood stream (seen as a red line moving towards the heart). This requires immediate emergency treatment, including IV antibiotics.

Lemur teeth can also rip flesh, causing scarring and nerve damage, as well as damage to tendons and ligaments.
