If you want to understand an animal, you must understand its morphological characteristics at the most basic level, so as to distinguish it. So what are the morphological characteristics of lemurs?

Lemur

Lemur is the general name for the lemur family of the primate protosimian suborder. The body size varies greatly, and the appearance is similar to that of mice, cats, foxes and monkeys. Body length 13 to 60 cm. Weight 60-3000 grams; tail length 17-60 cm, equal to or exceeding body length, with dense and long tail hair, mostly broom-shaped; large eyes; , shaped like a fox's mouth; the outer ear shell is semicircular or densely haired; the hind limbs are longer than the forelimbs, the fingers and toes have flat fingernails, and the second toe of the smaller species has grooved and curved claws; 36 teeth, only Weasel lemurs have 32 teeth, missing the upper incisors. Lemurs living in Madagascar and the Comoro Islands have elongated bodies with thick, soft fur in a variety of colors and markings. Most lemurs are reddish, brown, grey and black. The ring-tailed lemur, or Madagascar cat, has a grey-brown back with black and white rings on its tail. The fork-marked lemur is reddish or taupe, with black stripes from the eyes to the top of the head, which meet and extend toward the back as a stripe. The great weasel lemur (greater weasel lemur) is brown or grey on the back and white or yellow on the belly.

Lemurs come in all shapes and sizes. The smallest lemurs are the dwarf lemurs (dwarf lemurs) and the mouse lemurs (mouse lemurs), which are only about 5 inches (13 cm) long, and the largest is the collared lemur (ruffed lemur), which is about 24 inches (60 cm) long . Other large lemurs are brown and gentle lemurs. Body length 14 to 18 inches (34 to 45 cm). (All body lengths given for lemurs refer to the trunk only, and the tail of lemurs is as long as the trunk or even longer than the trunk.) Lemurs have fingers (toes) on both their fingers and toes (except the second toe). nails, and claws on the second toe. Some lemurs have raised pads on the palms and soles of their feet, and some also have pads under the fingers and toes. Some lemurs have a fox-like face, short muzzle, and large eyes that are narrowly spaced apart.
