| 説明 | Kaleta Reserve, Amboasary Sud, Madagascar.True lemurs, also known as brown lemurs, are the lemurs in genus Eulemur. They are medium-sized primates that live exclusively on Madagascar.True lemurs are predominantly diurnal forest inhabitants, with some species preferring rain forests, while others live in dry forests. They are skillful climbers and can cross large distances in trees by jumping, using their non-prehensile tails to aid in balancing. When on the ground, they move almost exclusively on all four legs. True lemurs are social animals and live together in groups of two to 15 members.And now it gets more complicated ...The red-fronted lemur (Eulemur rufifrons), also known as the red-fronted brown lemur or southern red-fronted brown lemur, is a species of lemur from Madagascar. Until 2001, it was considered a subspecies of the common brown lemur, Eulemur fulvus. In 2001, Eulemur fulvus was split into several separate species, including Eulemur rufus, in which this species was included. In 2008, Eulemur rufus was split into two species, the red lemur (Eulemur rufus) and the red-fronted lemur (Eulemur rufifrons). Eulemur rufus covers the population on the west coast north of the Tsiribihina River and Eulemur rufifrons covers the population on the west coast south of the Tsiribihina River and the population in eastern Madagascar. |
