I removed the following statement:
- They made their way across the ocean after the island [Madagascar] broke away from the continent of Africa.
My understanding is that the lemurs were "marooned" on Madagascar when it separated from the continent. The above seems wildly implausible. However, I don't have time to check either way, so I have just moved this bit over here till someone can clarify. seglea 15:45, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I believe you are correct. If they had not been marooned here by the continental separation (if they had gotten there some other way after separation) they would likely have descendant families on the mainland. - UtherSRG 17:08, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
What do they eat? - 80.200.140.63
- I've added some dietary information. - UtherSRG 12:48, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
