II. Morphological characteristics

The lemur is about 30 to 50 cm long, and is covered with long, thick black hair. The hair on the head is separated in the middle and grows densely on both sides of the face, forming a large beard. He looks like he's wearing a hat on his head, and a towel draped over his shoulders. The tail hair is also long and fluffy and very good at jumping.

Cubs of lemurs are often attached to their mother's arms, and the fur of the cubs is relatively smooth, not as bushy as that of adult lemurs.

III. Living habits

Lemurs are diurnal animals and live in small groups. The food habits are relatively mixed, and the types of food are not only easy to change, but even the ethnic groups in different places and different periods will be different.

IV. Distribution range

Lemur monkeys are mainly distributed in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.

As many poachers hunt and hunt lemurs for their fur, the number of lemurs around the world is decreasing. Animal protection organizations around the world reduce their concern for lemurs through artificial breeding and funding for local people's clothing. The demand for monkey fur to keep out the cold is to protect the lemur population. I really hope they can continue to jump in the forest freely!
