Ah, lemurs. Aren't they adorable? Yes, that is a scientific fact. This offshoot of the primate family lives in Madagascar, as well as surrounding islands and zoos that are interested in only the finest of animals.
Oh, you want more fun facts you say? Well then. Lemurs are one of only two mammals where the female is dominant (hyenas being the other). Male lemurs, to be quite frank, are sort of useless. Females do everything...including fighting the other females during lemur gang wars. High ranking males strut around with their heads and tails up, to show dominance over the low ranking males (who keep their heads and tails low), with ranking determined by fights. Strutting around without actually having done anything to earn it? Sounds like male lemurs are the animal world's equivalent of a Jersey boy.
One final note: lemurs like to lay out in the sun with their arms outstretched. This is not nearly as adorable as it sounds, hence there will be no sunbathinglemur.jpg. I'M SORRY LEMUR ENTHUSIASTS.
