Lemurs are found only on Madagascar and nearby islands due to their evolutionary history and geographical isolation. After Madagascar separated from the African mainland around 160 million years ago, lemurs evolved in this unique environment without competition from other primates. This isolation allowed them to adapt to the diverse habitats of the island, leading to a wide variety of species. Conservation challenges, including habitat destruction, threaten their survival, further limiting their range.
