#lemurday

Did someone say #WorldLemurDay!? Yes, even the fossa wants to help raise awareness about the lemurs. Because lemurs are a big deal for the balance of many of the ecosystems in Madagascar. For example, some are important for seed dispersal, some are pollinators, and yes... some are even food for for the largest mammalian carnivore of Madagascar.

Happy world lemur day! Inspiration for this little lemur was taken from an amazing shot by the very talented @jobrownphotography - which she was very kind in letting me use! Now for some fun lemur day facts! Did you know that lemurs have wet noses just like dogs? How cute is that! Also Did you know that even though there are 100 species of lemur, they all only live on the island of Madagascar? Yet despite their being so many species of lemur they are one of the most endangered animals on the planet; as each species is made up of only a few individuals. Lemurs like many other endangered animals are unfortunately threatened by hunting and deforestation! You can help protect lemurs through charities like @lemur.conservation.foundation and @wwf #worldlemurday #lemurday #lemursanctuary #lemurs #ringtailedlemur #wildlife #wildlifeartist #wildlifeillustration #lemurillustration #procreateart #endangeredspecies #endangeredanimlas #primateartist #wildlifephotography #conservationart #conservation #wildlife #wildlifelovers #primatesarenotpets #madagascar #passionforprimates #worldlemurday2020 #fridaysforfuture #saveourplanet🌍 #wildlifeinspired #wildlife_perfection #lemurs #lemursofinstagram #lemursofmadagascar #wildlifefacts #animalfacts https://www.instagram.com/p/CG-xLuPDwPl/?igshid=ie3xae3silnw

Happy #WorldLemurDay! #AnimalFact: There are over 100 species of lemurs, and all are found only on the island of Madagascar. Unfortunately they all have had a drastic drop in their population over the last 10-15 years due to human activity. GOOD NEWS is, we know when it’s a human caused problem, we can create a human caused solution! . . . . . #RingtailedLemur #LemurDay #Madagascar #Africa #wildlifeplanet #FridayFeeling #lemursofinstagram #animal_captures #sandiegozoo (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpati5RFPnI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cihvzc8wfaqc
