Extinction1
  • Yet the movie is wonderfully educational about its primates - I certainly didn't know that lemurs survived the asteroid that polished off the dinosaurs, or that, before their extinction some 200 years ago, there used to be lemurs the size of gorillas - and the creatures' cavorting is frequently underscored to delightfully eclectic song selections. (rcreader.com)
Forest2
  • From late spring to early fall, NHEs allow the resident lemurs to explore the forest 24 hours a day - with activities ranging from a nap on the soft, shady ground to foraging for fresh leaf buds over 80 feet up in a tulip poplar tree. (e2ma.net)
  • The reserve includes dense, dry deciduous forest and secondary savanna. (birdlife.org)
Populations1
  • Therefore, loss of genetic diversity in lemurs, owing to small founder populations or reduced gene flow, can be mitigated by managed breeding efforts. (datadryad.org)
Genus1
