The golden bamboo lemur is a small primate native to the rainforests of Madagascar. It is known for its distinctive golden-brown fur and large, expressive eyes. This species primarily feeds on bamboo, particularly the young shoots, which are rich in nutrients. Golden bamboo lemurs are social animals, often found in small groups. They are classified as endangered due to habitat loss and hunting. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their natural habitat and ensure their survival in the wild.
