Topic: Broad nosed Gentle Lemur

	Broad-nosed Gentle Lemur (Hapalemur simus)
		The broad-nosed gentle lemur is found on the island of Madagascar in bamboo forests, in a small area of southeastern Madagascar.
		The bamboo consumed by the broad-nosed gentle lemur was found to be high in fiber and low in protein (Wright and Randrimanantena, 1989; Leclercq and Santini-Palka, 1995); this species has a high amount of cellulose and lignin in the diet (Leclercq and Santini-Palka, 1995).
		The broad-nosed gentle lemur is a crepuscular species (Klopfer and Boskoff, 1979).

	Lemurs of Madagascar
		Lemurs belong to the sub-order Strepsirhini together with bushbabies, lorises, and pottos which—like the original lemurs—are nocturnal, insectivorous primates characterized by a small body, a long nose, and large eyes.
		Lemurs are vocal animals, making sounds that range from the grunts and swears of brown lemurs and sifaka to the chirps of mouse lemurs to the eerie, wailing call of the indri, which has been likened to a cross between a police siren and the song of a humpback whale.
		The newly described lemurs are all mouse lemurs, one of the world's smallest primates.

		In captivity their manners are gentle, although their activity is surprising; especially remarkable are the enormous distances they can swing themselves by their long arms.
		In spite of this length of arm, which seems to render their bodily proportions so unlike those of man, the length of leg when compared with the length of the trunk of the body, is more human than in either of the two preceding genera.
		The spider monkeys are very gentle in disposition, and, by this and by their long limbs and special fitness for tree-life, seem to represent in an analogous manner in the New World the gibbons of the Old.

		Threats to the survival of the greater bamboo lemur include both the continued destruction of its rainforest habitat for slash-and-burn agricultural as well as the extensive cutting of bamboo.
		The greater bamboo lemur is threatened both by continued destruction of its rainforest habitat for slash-and-burn agricultural as well as by extensive cutting of bamboo.
		During a study of one group of greater bamboo lemurs, the lemurs spent 95% of their feeding time on one species, the giant bamboo (Cathariostachys madagascariensis (formerly thought to be C.

		Lemurs are often lumped in with other somewhat less advanced primates known collectively as "prosimians." Other animals sometimes referred to as prosimians include tarsiers, lorises, bushbabies, galagos, pottos, and so forth.
		If you meet a lemur, and the lemur sneaks up behind you and takes a swipe at you with well sharpened fingernails, odds are you've spotted a Gentle Lemur; Gentle Lemurs have been seething for generations over being stuck with such a silly designation and are out to prove that they are anything but gentle.
		If the lemur does not attack, but instead sits down and chews on a nice clump of cyanide-laden bamboo leaves, you're seeing another interesting quality of the bamboo lemurs: bamboo lemurs can ingest cyanide in quantities that would kill primates several times their size.

		Gentle Lemurs specialise in bamboo forests and reed marshes.
		Lemurs found in the same location may use different layers of the habitat, e.g., the canopy (Sanford's Lemur), the mid-layer (Crowned Lemur) and the forest floor (Ring-tailed Lemur, the only lemur that spends most time on ground).
		But because a lemur's fingers are not flexible enough to groom, it uses the two grooming instruments found on most prosimians: the dental comb, made up of lower 6 teeth (incisors and canine) that stick away from the jaw; and the "toilet claw" and enlarged nail on the second toe.

	Lemurs
		Lemur catta is the ring-tailed lemur, easy to recognize with its long fl and white striped tail and the fl mask patterns on its white face.
		Ring-tailed lemurs live in groups of 5-25 animals, in which the adult females are dominant over the males.
		The three species are: Microcebus murinus, the gray mouse lemur; Microcebus rufus, the brown mouse lemur; and Microcebus myoxinus, the pygmy mouse lemur.

		Lemurs belong to a group of primates known as prosimians that were once distributed worldwide but today have been largely replaced by monkeys.
		Radiocarbon dating of the bones and teeth from which the DNA was obtained reveal that each of the individuals analyzed died well over 1,000 years ago, according to the senior author, Anne Yoder, associate professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.
		Living lemurs comprise more than 50 species, all of which are unique to the island of Madagascar, which is the world’s fourth largest island and east of Africa.

		Lemurs and macaques can live for 20+ years, so what this implies is that a great many primates in French zoos are not yet symptomatic but are slowly incubating BSE-based prion disease.
		Large number of monkeys and lemurs in French zoos appear to be infected with the agent that causes "mad cow disease," according to a provocative study published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
		Lemurs fed the cattle brains had the abnormal prions in their tonsils, digestive tracts, spleen and lymph system, as well as in their spinal cords and brains, they reported.

		Nearly 25 species of apes, monkeys, lemurs, and other primates are imperilled and may soon disappear.
		The main causes of decimation of primates are the destruction of habitat, hunting for meat and skin, for body parts used in traditional medicines as well as the animals' capture for the pet trade and export for biomedical research.
