Conservatory Rescue and sanctuary in Texas

A Texas  entity, Lemur Species including red ruffed , white ruffed lemurs and ringtail lemurs
Lemurs (/ˈliːmər/ LEE-mər) are a clade of strepsirrhineprimates endemic to the island of Madagascar. The word lemur derives from the word lemures (ghosts or spirits) from Roman mythology and was first used to describe a slender loris due to its nocturnal habits and slow pace, but was later applied to the primates on Madagascar. As with other strepsirrhine primates, such as lorises, pottos, and galagos (bush babies), lemurs share resemblance with basal primates. In this regard, lemurs are often confused with ancestral primates, when in actuality, lemurs did not give rise to monkeys and apes, but evolved independently.[5]
