Lemurs Bushbabies and Aye-Ayes

Lemurs, tarsiers, and lorises belong to a group of primates called prosimians.

The sub-order Strepsirrhini (curly-nosed primates) are non-tarsier prosimians, and the sub-order Haplorrhini (dry-nosed primates) includes tarsiers and simians.

yes lemurs do walk take a look at this vid to see them.............................................

amphibians breathe by a pump action where the air is drawn into the buccopharyngeal region (near the cheek) through the nostrils. their nostrils then close and the air is forced into the frogs lungs when the it contracts its throat. they supplement this with gas exchange through their skin.

depends what province u live in and what kind of monkey u wanna get...call your local government office or humane society and ask...

Yes, the Ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is considered an endangered species. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Ring-tailed lemur is listed as endangered due to habitat loss, hunting, and live capture for the pet trade. The species is endemic to Madagascar, where its population has declined by more than 50% over the last three decades, and continues to decline at an alarming rate. Conservation efforts are being made to protect the species and their habitats, including the creation of protected areas and conservation programs to promote sustainable development and community involvement in conservation efforts.

It was formally described by science in 1788 by Johann Friedrich Gmelin.

It is its markings and it can use it to signal to others.

No, ring-tailed lemurs do not have any symbiotic relationship.

The aye-aye lives primarily on the east coast of Madagascar. Its natural habitat is rainforest or deciduous forest, but many live in cultivated areas due to deforesting. Rainforest aye-ayes, the most common, dwell in canopy areas, and are usually sighted upwards of 700 meters altitude. They sleep during the day in nests built in the forks of trees.

Lemurs eat the fruits that are native to Madagascar, including tamarind among many others. Some will eat fruit from introduced species, including prickly pear and coconut.

There are no precise counts for how many ring-tailed lemurs are left. However, there are more of them in captivity than any other primate, and in the wild they are classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN, although their population is in considerable decline.

Lemurs (except the Aye-aye) have nails instead of claws, just like us. They can be a little sharp, and they might break the skin if they scratch you. The only exception is the second toe on their hind legs, which has a claw-like nail that is used for grooming.

Their is no special name for a baby monkey. They can be called infants, or babies, or any term you would use for a human baby.

However, there is a term for all non-human babies. You can say, "Monkeys take good care of their young." The term "young" means babies or juveniles.

No, Bushbabies (or Galagos) are prosimian or Strepsirrhine primates. Monkeys are simian or Haplorrhine primates.

lemurs are mammals, they don't lay eggs

Male lemurs (and female lemurs) do not have special names.

Officially, lemur groups are simply called "troops", just like with monkeys. They can occasionally be referred to as "groups," but this is neither the official collective name, nor is it used consistently.

birds of prey such as falcons or eagles if they have a good shot at em but mainley man destroying habitat and hunting then for there beautiful fur making hats and such that's it any other questions about any animal (and i do mean any animal) i can answer it i research new animals all the time

It depends on the species. Some species weigh as little as 30 grams or 1.1 oz (mouse lemurs) up to 9.5 kilograms or 21 lb (the indri). Recently extinct giant lemurs used to weigh between 10 to 200 kg (22 to 440 lb).

Flying lemurs are sorta like bats. So you would consider them flying mammals (although they aren't true fliers either). If they are mammals then yes, female flying lemurs give birth to young live. The young are usually born tiny and helpless with closed ears and eyes. They also are born without fur. Baby flying lemurs are called pups and drink milk until they can catch their own food.

During the wet seasons, ring-tailed lemurs mostly eat fruit and new leaves. During the dry season, they eat the remaining fruit of the tamarind tree and whatever they can find, including insects, bark, and whatever else they can find.

They are considered "opportunistic omnivores", although they mostly eat fruit and leaves.

Yes, Each pair has the habit of feeding in trees next to each other. When one finishes on a tree, it calls out to its pair before moving to another tree, and then the second aye-ayesoon follows its companion. The scientists think that this behavior proves that the aye-aye sometimes forages for food by cooperating in pairs while following a pattern for this kind of searching. Also, there is some social interaction when the male tries to court the female.

Madagascar's climate varies by region. Some lemurs live in tropical rainforests, which get a lot of rain year-round, while others live in regions that are highly seasonal, receiving rain for a few months out of the year and then little or no rain for the rest of the year.

Ring-tailed lemurs will spend time in many types of trees within their habitat, although at reserves like Berenty in southern Madagascar, kily trees (tamarind trees) are often a favorite.
