The lemurs are considered to be the widely known and popular national animals of Madagascar. Not only children love the fluffy animals with the big eyes and the beautiful soft looking fur, which many people know from the zoo. Originally, however, lemurs only come from Madagascar and are native to the island off the east coast of Africa. As forest spirits, shadows of the deceased and under many other names, the shy, cute lemurs can be found again and again in the forests of Madagascar. Get to know the most famous species of lemurs and learn more about their habits and the animals themselves on a journey through Madagascar. At least one or two sightings of the animals and some information about the Madagascan semi-monkeys should not be missing on any trip to the island in East Africa.
