Lemurs - beautiful & diverse

Here at the Pet Blog, we've posted about lemurs many times. We KNOW they're cute! We didn't know that there are many varieties of Lemur, a lot of which are incredibly rare. Take a look in to the planet of the lemurs and discover for yourself the wonderful diversity of this lesser known family of animals. (via the Presurfer)

New Rare Lemur Group Found

A new population of wrinkly-faced, bamboo-eating lemurs has been found in a swampy region of east-central Madagascar—more than 240 miles from the other only known group of the primates, listed as critically endangered by the World Conservation Union. Scientists suspect that 30 to 40 of the lemurs—known for cracking open giant bamboo with their powerful jaws—live in the wetland, where bamboo is still their main staple. The new group joins another population of about a hundred animals in the island's northern bamboo forests, which are under threat from illegal logging and habitat destruction, according to Conservation International.

Just hangin' around

Cute Baby Bamboo Lemur

Bilbo, a bamboo lemur, weighed just 30g when he was born on 22 February, 2007. Rejected by his mother at a zoo in Stockholm, Sweden, he has since gained a further 100g. It is thought there could be just 200 bamboo lemurs left in the wild.

Cute Baby Lemur

A veterinarian feeds Tivalo, a baby crowned sifaka lemur, at the Vincennes Zoo. Because his mother had problems nursing the infant—one of two lemurs born at the zoo in January—doctors had to feed him by hand.
