I’m trying to kill time at work so I’m going to throw some Lemur data out there for you just for shits and giggles:
- Lemur: from the Latin word lemures meaning “spirits of the night” or “ghosts”
- Lemurcon is a roughly annual late summer/early fall get-together of lemur enthusiasts at the Duke Lemur Center in North Carolina.
- Lemur Street is a twenty-episode series focused on two groups of Ring-tailed Lemurs in Madagascar. Released in the United States as Animal Planetâ„¢ series Lemur Kingdom, it features rival groups fighting for land and food to survive.
- Lemurs are primates found naturally only on the island of Madagascar and some smaller surrounding islands, including the Comoros (where they were likely introduced by humans).
