🐈🐕 Scientists are studying interspecies play to understand how #animals overcome biological #language barriers.
From #lemurs in #wildlife parks to #cats and #dogs at home, these interactions help young animals build social intelligence and physical coordination. Familiarity and a lack of survival pressure in captive environments allow unique social bonds to form.

🏝️🦎 #Madagascar separated from the supercontinent #Gondwana millions of years ago and developed as an isolated #environment.
The long geological separation allowed unique evolutionary paths for the majority of its native species. Today the #island supports over 100 species of #lemurs and thousands of #plants that exist nowhere else on #Earth.

Madagascar: Reforestation Corridor Offers a Future for Lemurs and Locals
🧑🤝🧑👬👩🔬👫🧑🤝🧑🏦👭🧑🤝🧑 Initiative is a unique convergence of science, private investment and community action.
🌳 The project has already planted more than 100 native tree species across 70 hectares, a portion of which were grown in soil inoculated with mycorrhiza, with seedlings showing high survival and growth rates.
✅ Even at this early stage, lemurs are using the corridor.
💰🏥🏫 Project partners are investing in ecotourism, health care and education, among other strategies.

University of Glasgow: Tech can enable cross-species experiences, new research suggests. “Giving lemurs the chance to use technology to share control of sensory experiences with zoo visitors can help create meaningful connections between humans and animals, groundbreaking new research suggests.”

🦊🐛 In the forests of #Madagascar, #lemurs have learned to use #millipedes as a specialized form of #medicine.
By gently biting the #insects, the #primates trigger the release of defensive #chemicals that act as a potent repellent against #malaria-carrying #mosquitoes. The lemurs rub the secretions into their fur and even ingest small amounts to treat internal parasites. The toxins cause a brief, trancelike state.

This linocut shows a conspiracy of lemurs in all senses of the words. The collective noun for a group of lemurs is a “conspiracy”. Isn’t that marvelous? These ring-tailed lemurs definitely appear to be up to something. Caught in the act of scheming. The word “lemurs” mimics their tails, of course!
The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is a wet-nosed primate, endemic to Madagascar. 🧵1/

Madagascar's lemurs are being pushed to the brink of extinction by the rise of so-called "luxury meat". 💔 👉 Find out more: https://veganfta.com/articles/2025/12/19/lemurs-brought-to-the-brink-of-extinction-by-so-called-luxury-meat/ #lemur #lemurs #primates #conservation #madagascar

To fill in the blanks of my previous post.
In Madagascar’s cities, a quiet but lucrative market is reshaping the future of one of the world’s most imperiled groups of animals. Lemurs—already the most threatened mammals on the planet—are being sold as a kind of urban delicacy, traded through discreet channels that rarely resemble the conventional wildlife markets familiar across Africa or Asia.

Madagascar’s lemurs face a new, additional and unprecedented threat — the demand for lemur meat among the country’s urban elite, falsely believed to have health benefits.
The elite should be taught a lesson. Don't know if a cartoon like this does the job. But it surely is another way of drawing the most necessary attention.

Gullible rich people doing conspicuously destructive things to impress their rich friends because they can? See? Madagascar isn't so exotic after all.

Meet Coquerel's sifaka (Propithecus coquereli). This primate inhabits deciduous forests in #Madagascar, where it lives in groups of up to 10 individuals. It’s mainly arboreal, with leaves making up the majority of its diet. Its teeth are specialized for grinding plant matter. Its name comes from the “shif-auk” sound it makes when moving through the treetops.

Welcome to Zen lemur yoga course
Instructor lemur demonstrates perfect enthusiasm, reaching high to embrace the universe. Student lemur contemplates whether enlightenment is worth this much effort before breakfast. Flexibility? Optional. Dramatic flair? Mandatory.
