A lemur is a type of primate native to Madagascar and the nearby Comoros Islands. These unique animals belong to the suborder Strepsirrhini and are characterized by their large eyes, keen sense of smell, and various social behaviors. Lemurs are known for their distinctive vocalizations and a wide range of species, each exhibiting unique traits and adaptations. Many lemurs are arboreal, spending most of their time in trees, where they feed primarily on fruits, leaves, and flowers. Conservation efforts are critical for lemurs, as many species face habitat loss and are endangered due to deforestation and human activity.
