		Mouse lemurs supplement their diet of fruits, flowers, and leaves mostly with insects, but they sometimes eat small frogs, birds, lizards, and bird eggs.
		The pygmy mouse lemur is classified as Microcebus myoxinus, the gray lesser mouse lemur as Microcebus murinus, the brown lesser mouse lemur as Microcebus rufus, and Coquerel’s mouse lemur as Mirza coquereli.

	Lemur
		Due to their evolutionary isolation on Madagascar and its surrounding islands, lemurs were protected from competition with other primates (monkeys and apes) and this allowed for a number of different lemur species to evolve naturally.
		All lemurs use their bushy tails for balance when leaping from tree to tree but also to warn an opponent by rubbing scent all over it and "flicking" it towards their rivals, they shake and quiver all over when they engage in this sort of aggressive behavior.
		Ring-tailed lemurs are an endangered species with an estimated wild population of 10,000 to 100,000 individuals in the wild and a captive population of well over 1,000.

		Lemurs survive only on the island of Madagascar off the southeast coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean (shown in green), and on the neighboring Comoros islands.
		Although it was once thought that lemurs were on Madagascar when the island separated from Africa, recent advances in geological science have shown that Madagascar was separated from Africa by hundreds of kilometers before lemurs evolved.
		Lemurs spend most of their time in trees or large bushes, although the ring-tailed lemur, the most terrestrial species, may spend as much as half of its day on the ground.
