5 Interesting Facts About Lemurs!

Lemurs are found nowhere else on Earth except Madagascar and a few tiny surrounding islands - when Madagascar split from mainland Africa around 160 million years ago, the ancestors of lemurs were isolated and evolved into over 100 unique species.
Ring-tailed lemurs have scent glands on their wrists and use their tails in 'stink fights' - males rub their tails with scent and then wave them at rivals in an aromatic battle of wills.
Lemurs are the only primates known to have a truly seasonal breeding period - and females are in charge, dominating males for resources and having priority access to food year-round.
The aye-aye lemur has a specialised elongated middle finger it uses to tap on wood and listen for hollow spaces where grubs are hiding - then it gnaws through with its teeth and hooks them out.
Over 90% of lemur species are threatened with extinction - deforestation in Madagascar has destroyed most of their habitat, making them the world's most endangered group of mammals.
