Lemurs are a unique group of primates found only on the island of Madagascar. They are known for their diverse range of species and unique adaptations, including their large, expressive eyes, distinctive vocalizations, and specialized diet. Lemurs play a crucial role in maintaining the ecosystem of Madagascar through their roles as seed dispersers and pollinators. They are also highly threatened by habitat loss, climate change, and hunting, making them a focal species for conservation efforts. Researchers studying lemurs often focus on their behavior, ecology, genetics, and conservation status in order to better understand and protect these charismatic primates.
