Lemurs are small to medium-sized primates native to the island of Madagascar. They belong to the suborder Strepsirrhini and are known for their large eyes, long tails, and unique vocalizations. There are about 100 different species of lemurs, ranging from the tiny mouse lemur to the larger indri. They primarily live in trees and are social animals, often found in groups called troops. Lemurs are primarily herbivorous, feeding on fruits, leaves, and flowers. They have a keen sense of smell, which helps them locate food. Many species are endangered due to habitat loss and hunting, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival.
