A lemur is a type of prosimian primate that is wild only on the island of Madagascar. Lemur in Latin means âghostâ and many of the Malagasy people believe lemurs are similar to spirits or ghosts because of their haunting stare and night activity.
Lemurs are prosimians, which are primates that were the evolutionary predecessor of monkeys and apes (simians). There are nearly sixty types of lemurs ranging in size from the tiny 30 gram Pygmy Mouse-lemur to the 10 kilogram Indri. All lemurs are endangered species, due mainly to habitat destruction (deforestation) and hunting.
