  2. Lemur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemur

    Indriids, sportive lemurs, the aye-aye, and the extinct sloth lemurs, monkey lemurs, and koala lemurs have reduced dentitions, having lost incisors, canines, or premolars. [73] The ancestral deciduous dentition is 2.1.3 2.1.3, but young indriids, aye-ayes, koala lemurs, sloth lemurs, and probably monkey lemurs have fewer deciduous teeth. [56] [74]

  3. Primate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primate

    Primates is an order of mammals, which is further divided into the strepsirrhines, which include lemurs, galagos, and lorisids; and the haplorhines, which include tarsiers and simians (monkeys and apes).

  4. Evolution of lemurs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_lemurs

    Lemurs are primates belonging to the suborder Strepsirrhini. Like other strepsirrhine primates, such as lorises, pottos, and galagos, they share ancestral traits with early primates. In this regard, lemurs are popularly confused with ancestral primates; however, lemurs did not give rise to monkeys and apes, but evolved independently on ...

  5. Ring-tailed lemur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring-tailed_lemur

    However, differences in the relationship between the orbit (eye socket) and the muzzle suggest that the ring-tailed lemur and the true lemurs evolved their elongated faces independently. [16] The relationship between the ring-tailed lemur and bamboo lemurs is the least understood.

    New World monkeys are small to mid-sized primates, ranging from the pygmy marmoset (the world's smallest monkey), at 14 to 16 cm (5.5 to 6.5 in) and a weight of 120 to 190 g (4.2 to 6.7 oz), to the southern muriqui, at 55 to 70 cm (22 to 28 in) and a weight of 12 to 15 kg (26 to 33 lb).

  7. Archaeolemur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeolemur

    As the name "monkey lemur" suggests, Archaeolemur has often been compared to the Old World monkeys due to convergences in morphological and locomotory features, such as limb proportions. [5] While there are certainly similarities between the two, the convergences are sometimes overstated.

  8. Monkey lemur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_lemur

    The monkey lemurs [3] or baboon lemurs [4] (Archaeolemuridae) are a recently extinct family of lemurs known from skeletal remains from sites on Madagascar dated to 1000 to 3000 years ago. [ 4 ] The monkey lemur family is divided into two genera, Hadropithecus and Archaeolemur , and three species.

  9. Lemuriformes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemuriformes

    Molecular clock estimates indicate that lemurs and the lorisoids diverged in Africa during the Paleocene, approximately 62 mya. Between 47 and 54 mya, lemurs dispersed to Madagascar by rafting. [11] In isolation, the lemurs diversified and filled the niches often filled by monkeys and apes today. [14]
