	Greater Dwarf Lemur (Cheirogaleus major)
		The main reason for the greater dwarf lemur entering a state of dormancy is because of a lack of food during the dry season (Wright and Martin, 1995).
		The greater dwarf lemur is an arboreal quadruped, and is not a very agile leaper (Fleagle, 1988).
		In the greater dwarf lemur mating occurs in October and births occur from November to February (Van Horn and Eaton, 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.
		Today lemurs are found in virtually all of Madagascar's ecosystems and share some of the social and behavioral characteristics of monkeys (i.e., forming social groups, eating fruit and vegetation, and being active during the day).
		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 fat-tailed dwarf lemur is found in Western and Southern Madagascar in the dry forests along the coast.
		First year fat-tailed dwarf lemurs stay active longer during their first year so as to be able to grow more, not having to compete with their parents for food, so the first hibernation is not as long for the young (Hladik et al.

		However, lemurs are thought to be less evolutionarily advanced than men and apes and monkeys are, representing the stage of evolution our ancestors would have been at several million years ago.
		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.
