Brown Lemurs

Brown Lemurs are prosimians that come from Madagascar. They spend most of their time in the treetops of the rainforest, feeding on leaves, fruits, flowers and buds. They will also eat invertebrates, including millipedes and centipedes. The lemur's long tail is used for balance and also for wafting pheromones that are secreted from scent glands near their hindquarters. Brown lemurs live in groups of generally 3 to 12 individuals. The babies in the group are all born at the same time of year, usually August or September. All of the lemur species are found only on Madagascar and all are endangered due to habitat destruction and hunting.
