Behaviour of Lemurs in the Wild
Lemurs are true masters of the jungle and forest. In their natural habitat on Madagascar, these fascinating primates are renowned for their acrobatic skills. If you’ve ever observed a lemur in the wild, you’ll see that these little acrobats face no challenge. They leap from tree to tree with a grace that seems almost supernatural, covering distances of up to ten metres. Lemurs are highly social animals and live in groups known as “troops”. Within these troops, there is a complex social system where females take the lead. This matriarchal structure provides order and stability to the group. Another fascinating behaviour is the sunbathing of ring-tailed lemurs. They sit upright on their backsides with outstretched arms to enjoy the morning sun – a scene that can only be witnessed in Madagascar.

General Characteristics of Lemurs
Lemurs are primates that are found exclusively on Madagascar and the Comoros Islands. Their name comes from the Latin "lemures," meaning "ghosts" – a nod to their often nocturnal lifestyle and their large, glowing eyes. These eyes are not only large but also exceptionally sensitive, allowing lemurs to see brilliantly even in low light. There are over 100 different species of lemurs, varying widely in appearance, size, and habitat. From the tiny mouse lemur, just a few centimetres long, to the imposing indri, which can reach up to a metre in size. A common feature of all lemurs is their long, bushy tail, which serves not only as a balancing aid but also as a means of communication within the group.

Absurd Facts About Ring-Tailed Lemurs
Did you know that ring-tailed lemurs, when feeling threatened, drive off their enemies with a “stink fight”? They rub the tips of their tails on special glands on their wrists and then fling their “scent” towards the attacker. Another quirky detail: ring-tailed lemurs have a penchant for karaoke. In the wild, they communicate through a variety of sounds, including screams, growls, and even “songs” that resemble an impromptu karaoke session. These musical displays are used to mark their territories and strengthen social bonds.

Did You Know...
...that lemurs are the only primates that have a symbiotic relationship with certain plants? Some plant species on Madagascar rely so heavily on lemurs that their seeds can only germinate after passing through a lemur’s digestive tract.
...that lemurs have the longest fingertips of any primates? This adaptation allows them to fish out even the smallest insects and fruits from crevices and cracks.
...that a lemur’s scent not only serves to mark territory but also acts as “perfume” in mate selection? Male lemurs sport special “scent gland ornaments” that they present to females to attract their attention.
...that lemurs are also known as “forest firefighters”? During dry periods, they trample over dry leaves and branches to prevent fires while simultaneously foraging for food.
