#FunFactFriday: Ring-tailed lemurs are flexible foragers! 🍃 Their diet includes fruit, leaves, bark, flowers, sap—and sometimes insects. Since food in their forests can be scarce, they often travel on the ground to find their next bite. #Lemurs #Wildlife

We are just days away from #WorldLemurDay, meet the fat-tailed dwarf lemur! This tiny nocturnal lemur spends its nights foraging alone, but by day it curls up to sleep in a cozy tree hole—sometimes with friends, sometimes solo.

#FunFactFriday: The aye-aye is Madagascar’s most unusual lemur — and the world’s largest nocturnal primate!
Its long, thin middle finger is perfect for “tap foraging,” a clever way to find insect larvae hidden inside trees. Tap, listen, gnaw, hook, eat!
