1 Remember Test is tomorrow! Project due on 9/25/14! The following section focuses on different lemur species of Madagascar. Madagascar is an island located off the east coast of frica, as shown on the map below. Madagascar has a unique animal community. Lemurs are one of the animal groups that have diversified extensively on Madagascar. Lemurs are primates, which is an order of mammals that also includes monkeys and apes. Lemur species vary widely in habitat, diet, size, and color. Lemurs only live on the island of Madagascar. However, fossil evidence shows that lemur ancestors existed on frica s mainland. Scientists hypothesize that lemur ancestors reached Madagascar by floating across the Mozambique hannel on matted clumps of vegetation. Four different lemur species are shown in figures 1 4 below. Figure 1. Mouse lemur Length: 12.5 cm Habitat: Rain forest and deciduous forest Figure 2.
