	Lemurs.us - Lemur Basics
		Today's lemur species range in size from the tiny pygmy mouse lemur, weighing in at about an ounce, to the 15-pound indri lemur and the sifaka, which are both about the size of a standard house cat.
		The smaller mouse lemurs and dwarf lemurs are nocturnal, preferring to be active in the relative safety of nighttime darkness.
		Lemurs are small primates known as " prosimians," which, roughly translated, means "pre-primates" or "before monkeys." Native only to the island of Madagascar and the neighboring Comoro Islands, lemurs resemble the oldest ancestors of primates which existed tens of millions of years ago.

	Lemur at exZOOberance!
		Lemurs range in size from the pygmy mouse lemur, only 30 g (1 oz) in weight and 20 cm (8 in) in length (including the tail), to the indri, which is about 75 cm (about 2.5 ft) tall and about 7 to 10 kg (15 to 22 lb) in weight.
		The dwarf and mouse lemurs supplement their diet with insects, small frogs, birds, lizards, and bird eggs, and the aye-aye eat insect larvae.

		Today Madagascar is home to nearly 60 "taxa" of lemurs (species, sub-species, and populations from 33 species across 5 families and 14 genera) ranging in size from the 25-gram pygmy mouse lemur to the indri.
		Lemurs are vocal animals ranging from the grunts and swears of brown lemurs and sifaka to 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.
		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.
