The Family Lemuridae consists of the true lemurs, a group of primates endemic to Madagascar. These medium-sized, arboreal primates are highly social, typically living in groups, and exhibit diurnal activity patterns. They have long tails for balance, opposable thumbs, and strong hind limbs adapted for leaping between trees. Lemurids are omnivorous, feeding on fruits, leaves, flowers, and occasionally insects, and they play an important role in seed dispersal within their ecosystems. Social structures, vocal communication, and grooming behaviors are well-developed, reflecting their complex social lives and ecological adaptations.
