What is a "fork-marked lemur"?
The fork-marked lemur is a primate species found in Madagascar, known for its distinct facial markings and arboreal lifestyle. They have a fork-shaped pattern on their face, with dark markings that extend from the eyes down to the nose. Fork-marked lemurs are arboreal, spending most of their time in trees, and are known for their agility and acrobatics. They primarily feed on fruits, leaves, and flowers, and are important for seed dispersal and pollination in their natural habitat. They are social animals, typically living in small groups, and are known for their vocalizations and communication. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect fork-marked lemurs and their habitat from threats such as habitat loss and hunting.
