Common Brown Lemur Female and Baby (Pup) (Eulemur fulvus)
Island Of Madagascar
Off The East Coast Of Africa
Andasibe-Mantadia National Park
The Common brown lemur (Eulemur fulvus) is a species of lemur in the family Lemuridae. It is found in Madagascar and Mayotte. The common brown lemur lives in western Madagascar north of the Betsiboka River and eastern Madagascar between the Mangoro River and Tsaratanana, as well as in inland Madagascar connecting the eastern and western ranges.
The common brown lemur's diet consists primarily of fruits, young leaves, and flowers. In some locations it eats invertebrates, such as cicadas, spiders and millipedes. It also eats bark, sap, soil and red clay. It can tolerate greater levels of toxic compounds from plants than other lemurs can.
Consistent with its large range, the common brown lemur occupies a variety of forest types, including lowland rainforests, montane rainforests, moist evergreen forests and dry deciduous forests.
They normally live in groups of 5 to 12, but group size can be larger, especially on Mayotte. Groups occupy home ranges of 1 to 9 hectares in the west, but more than 20 hectares in the east. Groups include members of both sexes, including juveniles, and there are no discernible dominance hierarchies.
They are primarily active during the day but can exhibit cathemeral activity and continue into the night, especially during full moons and during the dry season. – Wikipedia
