Mouse Lemur

Female lemurs give birth to 3 babies and take care of them until they are big enough to look after themselves.

The two big enemies of the mouse lemur are the barn owl and the Madagascar tree boa.

All mouse lemurs have a white color strip between the eyes and an orangey black head and tail.

The Latin word ‘lemurs’ means ’ghost’, and lemurs were given this name because they come out only at night and have an eerie stare.
