What does the word aye mean in Rutter's Nativity Carol As in Christ was born for Aye?
Usually in older English texts, "for aye" would mean "forever" or "always." That doesn't quite work here, and since the text is by Rutter, I'm guessing that the words are inserted for rhythm and rhyming purposes. It would probably be close enough to say that it means "for certain."
What temperature range is needed for lemurs to survive?
The temperature range for lemurs depends on the species. The ring-tailed lemur has been observed in mountainous regions that drop several degrees below 0° C (32° F), but also live in some of the hottest parts of the island (the spiny forests). Other lemurs, such as the ruffed lemurs, live in the rainforests where it is warmer year-round.
