Lemurs are primates found only on the African island of Madagascar and some tiny neighboring islands.
Lemurs make up the infraorder Lemuriformes and are members of a class of primates known as prosimians.
These range in size from the tiny 30 gram (1 oz) Pygmy Mouse Lemur to the 10 kilogram (22 lb) Indri.
The larger species, some of which weighed up to 240 kg[3], have all become extinct since humans settled on Madagascar, and since the early 20th century the largest lemurs reach about 7 kilograms (15 lbs).
During mating season, male lemurs battle for dominance by trying to outstink each other. They cover their long tails with smelly secretions and wave them in the air to determine which animal is more powerful.


Ring-tailed lemurs live in groups known as troops and Unlike most other primates, lemur species have a Matriarchal society
