Lemurs Bushbabies and Aye-Ayes

Changes are based on the characteristics of the individual species. This question is too general to be answered effectively.

Living lemur species range in size from 30 g or 1.1 oz (mouse lemur) to 9 kg or 20 lb (indri). Recently extinct lemurs--called "subfossil lemurs"--were larger, ranging up to the size of a gorilla.

Humans are the most significant predator of lemurs today. Originally, the most notable predator was the fossa, which is also endangered. Other predators of lemurs include boas, hawks, and eagles. There was once giant eagle in Madagascar that may have once hunted them, as well as a giant fossa. Introduced predators include dogs, cats, and the Indian civet.

No, but many people in Madagascar believe they can. These superstitious beliefs or taboo are known as fady. Fady sometimes hurts lemurs, as in the case of the aye-aye, or it can help protect lemurs, as long as the people believe it's bad to hunt certain species or believe that a patch of forest is scared.

No, lemurs cannot swing from their tails. The ability to do so is called having a prehensile tail. Only some of the New World monkeys have this trait. No lemurs from Madagascar or monkeys from Africa or Asia can swing from their tails.

* -Philippine and Spectral eat insects * -favorite insects are gnats, dragon flies, termites, locusts, mosquitoes, moths, and grasshoppers * -have not been seen eating fruit in the wild, but they do in captivity * -Western eats the same insects as Philippine and Spectral * -also eat bats, lizards, snakes, and birds * -kill birds by leaping on them, grabbing the bird, and biting neck * -all tarsiers use their excellent hearing to locate prey * -larger prey is carried to a tree before being eaten * -drink water regularly * -get water from pools, streams, trunks, or leave cavities

Habitat conservation is being promoted, and people are trying to educate the Malagasy so that some of them won't kill it on sight out of fear.

False.

It depends on what type or lemur your talking about some are and some aren't. There 50 different types of lemurs and 17 are endangered.

mouse lemurs grow to about 5cm

The forests of Madagascar are disappearing due to expanding subsistence agriculture; wood gathering for firewood, charcoal, and construction; and illegal logging. To help, avoid buying products made with rosewood or ebony, especially if you don't know the source. You can also volunteer with humanitarian or conservation groups that work in Madagascar, or donate money to organizations like the Madagascar Fauna Group. Furthermore, you can support ecotourism by visiting Madagascar.

Aye-ayes are also threatened by local superstition, which results in people killing them on site. Again, volunteer work or donations to conservation organizations are the best way to help.

My uncle is a zoo-ologist thing so here is some info he sent me hope that it helps!!! A ring-tailed lemur mother gives birth to one or two young between August and October, when the rainy season begins. Newborns ride on their mother's belly for the first two weeks, then graduate to riding on her back. It takes about two years for ring-tailed lemurs to reach adulthood. Lemurs, like most primates, are fairly long-lived. They can live for up to 35 years in captivity and up to 25 years in the wild so they perform substationally well in zoos wildlife parks etc. Good luck!

Golden Bamboo Lemurs live in southeastern Madagascar. It can be seen in Ranomafana National Park.

The aye-aye's primary predators are humans and the fossa.

The aye-aye has evolved an unusual set of adaptations to extract food from structurally defended resources. It's rodent-like front teeth allow it to chew through hard surfaces, such as nuts and wood. To find insect grubs burrowed in trees, the aye-aye has a skinny finger that it uses to tap with and bat-like ears that is uses to hear the resulting vibrations. This allows it to find the hollow spots in the wood. It then uses those teeth to create an opening in the tree and then fishes out the grub with its skinny, highly-dexterous finger.

No, ring-tailed lemurs are diurnal (active during the day).

In Texas, any kind of animal can be owned, although dangerous ones (listed by the state) require a license. A ring-tailed lemur would require no license.

However, it is not a good idea to get a ring-tailed lemur as a pet. Although they look cute, they require a special diet that most people can't provide; they require specialized veterinary care (most vets won't treat them); they can catch and transmit many of the same diseases you catch (because they are primates); they will scent-mark, pee, and poop all around the house (and cannot be trained out of it); they *require* constant companionship with another ring-tailed lemur (otherwise they become neurotic); and they can become aggressive and bite (requiring a hospital visit and usually IV antibiotics).

Baby chicks can start walking as soon as there hatched. I bought about fifty chicks from the McMurray Hatchery and as soon as I put them in their crate the walked right over to their food and water.

If your tamagotchi is still, and looks a bit like an angel, I'm sorry, it's dead.

If it's it's normal figure, and not paused, then you might want to check his health stats and try some of the other button options.

He also may be sleeping. If he is, I can assure you it will wake up soon enough.

Another option is that your tamagotchi may have some sort of technical fault. Make sure no sand or water has got into the buttons.

If you think all is clear, and you've checked all these steps, then maybe you will have to restart your tamagotchi (by pointing a sharp object into the back hole)

With some versions, when the tama is an egg, you can press B (I think) and then it will come up with two options. Download or reset. Try pressing download, it might just activate your old tamagotchi and see if it works there.

It depends on the age, babys take naps but turn into children before a full nights sleep, I'm not sure on children, but they wake up at eight, teenagers sleep longest, 9:00pm to 9:00 am, adults sleep from 10:00pm to, well I'm not sure what time they wake up.

A brown mouse lemur eats mostly fruit, leaves, and some small insects.

In small places like under a deck, underneath your house, or in a hole.

They like to stay clean so you will see them taking out debris they no longer want in their homes. They like our homes because they are safer, cleaner, warmer, drier and there is a ready supply of food.

It depends on your size, but also the area you grew up in. People who live in areas with thinner air will develop larger lungs.

Lemur is a type of monkey that only lives in Madagascar.
