Here is Julian, the Tri colored lemur! What an amazing and very personable animal. Lemurs are mammals known for their large eyes and monkeylike bodies. They belong to the group of animals called primates, along with lorises, tarsiers, monkeys, apes, and humans. There are about 18 species, or types, of animal in the lemur family. But the term lemur also applies to about 50 related species, including dwarf lemurs, mouse lemurs, koala lemurs, indris, and aye-ayes. Lemurs are found only on the islands of Madagascar and Comoros off the eastern coast of Africa. Most lemurs live in trees in forests. But the ring-tailed lemur lives in rocky desert areas. Lemurs are gentle and often social animals. Some species live in groups of 10 or more individuals. Most kinds are active at night and sleep during the day. Lemurs may eat fruits, leaves, buds, insects, and small birds and birds’ eggs. #lemurs #lemurs #zoo #zoolife #miami #florida #soflo #southflorida #zwfmiami #madagascar #animal #funnyanimals #wildlife #nature #conservation #fyp #instagood #animals #animallovers #wantone #adorable #epic #lovethem #lemurlife #insta #instadaily #pet #pets #petstagram #wow
