	Animal Info - Mongoose Lemur
		In Madagascar the mongoose lemur is found in dry deciduous forest and secondary forest.
		Mongoose lemurs live in small family groups consisting of a monogamous adult pair and 1 - 4 of their immature offspring.
		Major reasons for the decline of the mongoose lemur include the destruction of its forest habitat due to logging and agriculture, hunting for food, and persecution due to its alleged raids on crops.

	Mongoose lemur
		Conservation news: The range of the mongoose lemur has probably always been limited but its range is now reduced to scattered patches of western dry forest.
		Mongoose lemurs are known to occur in only one protected area: Ankarafantsika Nature Reserve.
		Mongoose lemurs love nectar - in some areas 80% of their dry season diet is the rich nectar of the Kapok tree, whose flowers open in the evening.

	Animal of the Month of August - 2005 - Ring-Tailed Lemur
		The Ring-tailed Lemur is a rather noisy mammal that lives in Madagascar, a large island off the southeast coast of Africa.
		The Lemur is an active tree dwelling primate with a cat-like nose and whiskers.
		The female lemur carries her newborn in her mouth until the baby is able to cling to the fur on the mother's stomach or back.

	Animal Info - Crowned Lemur
		The crowned lemur is a medium-sized lemur with a distinctive chestnut-orange "crown" pattern on its head.
		Currently, the crowned lemur occurs in the northern forests of Madagascar, from the Ankarana Massif in the west to the Fanambana River in the east.
		Until recently, crowned lemurs were thought to be a subspecies of the mongoose lemur.

	Lemur Sounds
		Lemurs are part of a class of primates known as prosimians, and make up the infraorder Lemuriformes.
		The term "lemur" is derived from the Latin word lemures, which means "spirits of the night".
		Lemurs are found naturally only on the island of Madagascar, and some smaller surrounding islands, including the Comoros (where it is likely they were introduced by humans).

		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 in turn are food for predators higher up in the food chain such as large birds of prey.

		The Mongoose lemurs are only found on one area of Madagascar.

		Lemur populations in the wild are rapidly declin- ing.
		The aforementioned Diphda, a red-ruffed lemur, is known as the three-legged lemur since she had to have a forelimb amputated when she was very young, and as a result was hand-raised by humans and likes them a lot.
		Often, the lemurs can be bribed back into their enclosures or cages with raisins, which they adore, but when this has to be done, it necessitates a later feeding of raisins for no reason at all, lest the lemurs come to associate raisins with escaping or with getting imprisoned again.

	Prosimian Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		We have trained two ring-tailed (Lemur catta) and two mongoose lemurs (Eulemur mongoz) to respond via a touch sensitive screen that is wheeled into their home enclosures.
		The critical question was whether lemurs would spend more time searching the bucket when food should have remained in the bucket compared to when they had retrieved all of the food.
		We found that the amount of time lemurs spent searching was indicative of whether grapes should have remained in the bucket and furthermore that lemur search time reliably differentiated numerosities that differed by a 1:2 ratio but not those that differed by a 2:3 or 3:4 ratio.

		Lifestyle: These lemurs live in the dense swamps of papyrus and reeds that line the shores of Lake Alaotra.
		Family and friends: These lemurs live in small groups containing one adult female and an adult male and their offspring Some groups have two breeding females - these bigger families are more successful at raising young.
		The Lake Alaotra Gentle Lemur is the only primate in the world that lives exclusively in reed beds and swamps - and it only lives by the shores of one lake - Lake Alaotra in Madagascar.

		We don't get around much: All lemurs are from Madagascar (formerly the Malagasy Republic) or the nearby Comoro Islands, but the Mongoose Lemur is from northwestern Madagascar and the Comoro Islands.
		Their color is flish-brown, resembling that of a mongoose, hence the name.
		Other lemurs make me nervous: Mongoose lemurs are active quadrupeds that run and walk on tree branches, leaping from one to the other with great agility.

		(The majority of the lemurs are housed on island habitats in one of the zoo's larger lakes.

	Experiments reveal startling insights into lemur intelligence
		Brannon is using touch-screens, Plexiglas boxes holding raisins and buckets hiding grapes to establish that ringtails such as Aristides and his mongoose lemur cousins possess a surprising ability to learn sequences of pictures and to discriminate quantities.
		For one thing, lemurs show little of the sophisticated perceptual abilities, curiosity and interest in manipulation that would indicate that they would actively participate in experiments.
		In another experiment that explored lemurs' numerical ability, Brannon and her students presented animals with a two-trayed box containing different numbers of tasty raisins or grapes in each tray.

		More than other lemurs, mongoose lemurs might be active at different times of the day depending on the time of year.
		Mongoose lemurs appear to be cathemeral (active at varying times, both day and night) throughout wet and the dry season.
		It is thought that this shift towards nocturnality during the dry, hot season helps the lemurs conserve energy by shifting their activity towards the coolest part of the day.

		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.

		Combined field and laboratory observations indicated that mouse lemurs are in fact a good model for the ancestral primate condition and that several key adaptations can be traced to a small nocturnal ancestor in the "fine-branch niche" of tropical and subtropical forests.
		Projects covered the mongoose lemur (PhD, D. Curtis), the Alaotran gentle lemur (PhD, T. Mutschler), the thick-tailed dwarf lemur (PhD, A. M?ller), a comparative study of the sportive lemur and the woolly lemur (postdoctoral study, U. Thalman) and an overall, multi-level analysis of phylogenetic relationships among lemurs using mitochondrial DNA sequence data (PhD, J. Pastorini).
		The thick-tailed dwarf lemur is of special interest among primates because it hibernates for up to seven months, while comparison between the sportive lemur and the woolly lemur is particularly instructive because these two species are folivores of similar size yet show marked differences in ranging and social behaviour.

	Mongoose Lemur Wild Status (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The habitat in which they live is suffering from the agricultural and hunting practices of the Malagasy people living within the rural areas (Richard and Sussman, 1975).
		Traditional ways in which the animals have been forced into endangerment are hunting of the lemurs for food and several ways in which the habitat is deforested, which includes slash and burn techniques and wood cutting for reasons such as the use of firewood and house building (Richard and Sussman, 1975).
		The logging and massive deforestation for the planting of crops may be one of the main reasons why the mongoose lemur is being found less and less (Richard and Sussman, 1975).
