Are bush babies related to aye-ayes?
Bush babies and aye-ayes are both lemuriform primates, a related group of primates that last shared a common ancestor somewhere between 40 and 65 million years ago.
The aye-aye is nocturnal and primarily eats insects and hard nuts.
What are Mexican friends called?
Hebruscalosist stupid i know aye [And noi am not mexican you can tell that i am aussie cause i say "Aye" with almost everything]
Are Lemurs a cross bweteen a Monkey and a Squirrel?
Lemurs are a cross between a tiger and lion and are know for their magical powers.
What does a lemur use for shelter?
A lemur typically uses either a bush or a tree for shelter. They also use bushes and trees in order to hide from their predators.
Why are bush babies endangered?
hunters go looking somewhere and get hungry so they kill the bush babies with guns and then eat them.
What molecules are primarily used for long term energy storage I am the lemur?
The primary molecules used for long-term energy storage are lipids, particularly in the form of triglycerides stored in adipose tissue. These molecules provide a dense source of energy, as they contain more than double the energy per gram compared to carbohydrates. In addition to lipids, carbohydrates such as glycogen can also serve as a shorter-term energy reserve, but they are more suited for quick access rather than long-term storage.
What benefits do you get to Tarsier?
They are the smallest primates "prosimian". They live in the Phillipines, are on the IUCN Red List of endangered animals. The most benefical thing I can think of is they eat lots of insects. I'm sure there are many other benefits we have because of these small creatures, but that is the first one that jumped out at me, while doing this research. They eat all size and shapes of insects, and in a hot moist climate like the PI, that is wonderfully handy.
What do you think would happen if a lemur mated with a different kind of lemur?
If two different species of lemurs mated, they could potentially produce hybrid offspring, depending on their genetic compatibility. However, this is less likely in the wild due to behavioral and ecological factors that usually keep species separate. If hybrids were to occur, they might exhibit a mix of traits from both parent species, but their viability and reproductive success would depend on various factors, including health and adaptability. In general, hybridization can affect the genetic diversity and conservation of both species involved.
What frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum can the aye-aye detect?
I'm not sure if the aye-aye specifically has been studied. However, check the related link below for an article that talks about color vision in primates. It's a guess, but being a nocturnal lemur, it probably has the least developed color vision of the primates.
What is the scientific name of a flying lemur?
The scientific name that was given to the flying lemur was Cynocephalus. In fact, is the only animal species to be listed under the genus.
They have never been clocked, but on the ground they are not very fast runners because their long, skinny fingers are pulled back to protect them. In the trees, they move pretty quickly.
No, They Do Not Lay Eggs Because They Like To travel Only And Do Not Mate.
Do ring tailed lemurs dance like the Verreaux's sifaka does?
First of all, lemurs do not dance. The dancing lemurs in the movie Madagascar (and sequels) are anthropomorphic representations of lemurs... meaning they are fictional, animated lemurs given human qualities.
Verreaux's Sifaka do hop when they are on the ground, as do all sifaka species. They are considered "vertical clingers and leapers", and with their long legs and short arms, it's easier to hop than to run on all four legs. When they hop, they usually hop from side-to-side rather than forward.
Ring-tailed Lemurs do not hop like sifakas. They are quadrupedal (walk on 4 legs). I have seen them hop forward on their hind legs, though. They were trying to keep an eye on the lemurs in front of them, and by leaping forward with the head held up they were able to see over the tall grass. However, this is not a common occurrence.
Does a aye aye have a backbone?
The Aye Aye is a mammal and all mammals have backbones making them vertebrates.
How Describe the physical appearance of a lemur?
Hairy, scary, and bushy eyebrows quite the unpleasent fellow
How do the unique characteristics help the aye-aye survive?
The aye-aye uses it's skinny middle finger to tap on wood to find hollow spots where insects and their larvae can be found. It listens with its sensitive, bat-like ears. This is a form of echolocation. Once the prey is located, the aye-aye uses its rodent-like front teeth to chew a hole into the tree, and then uses its skinny middle finger to dig out the prey.
Aye-ayes use their skeletal middle finger to tap on trees and listen with their bat-like ears to find hollow spots containing insects. Then using their rodent-like front teeth, they chew a hole open in the wood, and then probe the hollow spaces with their skinny middle finger, which they use to hook the prey and drag to their mouth.
Why did the greater bamboo lemur become endangered?
The greater bamboo lemur used to have a range that extended over much of Madagascar, but it has disappeared from all but a few small, isolated bamboo forests. The cause is like habitat loss and possibly human hunting.
How many Coquerel's sifaka are left in the wild?
The species is listed as Endangered, but no wild populations numbers have been reported. Its habitat is limited, and its population is decreasing due to habitat degradation/loss and hunting.
The phoneme "ay" or "ey" is pronounced as a long A sound. The word sound "aye" is pronounced as a long I, as in "eye". This is also true in some names, usually when "ayi" or "aye" begins the name, e.g. Ayiman or Ayers.
