Parents and educators—looking for a fun way to teach kids about lemurs? Our FREE Lemur Activity Guide is a 41-page collection of quick, engaging activities for all ages, perfect for classrooms, zoos, camps, or World Lemur Day events — most taking just 5–10 minutes.

Red-fronted brown lemurs are sexually dichromatic—which means males and females wear totally different looks! All red-fronted brown lemur babies are born looking like adult males! Females don’t start developing their signature coloring until they’re about 3–4 months old. 📷: Jeffrey Gibbs

Looking for the perfect Valentine’s Day treat? Beyond Good sources the highest-quality cocoa and vanilla directly from the farmers who grow it. Even sweeter: when you purchase using the link below, 15% of the proceeds are donated to the Lemur Conservation Network.

This ring-tailed lemur is serving up a little attitude! Ring-tails have a super flexible diet, munching on fruits, leaves, flowers, bark, sap, and even the occasional invertebrate. Adaptable, curious, and not afraid to stick their tongue out about it. #TongueOutTuesday 📷: Postdlf

What is cuter than a baby lemur?! This youngster is old enough to ride "jockey style" on its mother's back. Until they are about two weeks old, babies cling to their mother's chests!#SundaysAreForSnuggles 📷: Anil Öztas

#TongueOutTuesday from the canopy! This crowned lemur is serving attitude with a side of ecology. Crowned lemurs roam all levels of the forest—favoring the treetops but happily heading to the ground to snack on fallen fruit, lick mineral-rich dirt, or travel with their group. 📷: Mathias Appel

Ever wonder what a lemur sounds like? Well perk up your ears for the varied calls of these wonderful primates!

Caught mid-air! These two photos show Coquerel’s sifakas doing what they do best—leaping. Unlike other lemurs, they move through the trees by sitting upright and springing from branch to branch using the powerful strength of their back legs. Talk about leg day. 📷: Charles J. Sharp

Meet MJ Ingmanson—field researcher and sifaka superfan! MJ takes us on the ground in Madagascar at Centre ValBio in Ranomafana National Park, sharing what it’s like to study Milne-Edwards’ sifakas, collaborate with local communities, and turn research into real conservation impact.

Those big eyes might steal the show, but this is the small-toothed sportive lemur named for what you can’t see! They lack permanent incisors and have smaller molars than other sportive lemurs. #FunFactFriday 📷: Charles J. Sharp

Indris are the only lemurs that communicate by song. Their powerful, melodic calls rise and fall, echoing for miles to keep group members connected, warn neighbors to stay back, and even share details about who’s in the group. What else might their music be saying? 📷: Frank Vassen

Pretty in pink (and black)! 🩷 🖤 This silky sifaka is rocking a one-of-a-kind look. While all silky sifaka infants are born with black skin, they lose pigmentation as they age—resulting in faces that can be pink, black, or a beautiful mix of both. No two faces are exactly alike! 📷: Simponafotsy

Is there anything as cute as a couple lemurs getting cozy?! Ring-tailed lemurs live in social groups that range from three to twenty five individuals! #SundaysAreForSnuggles 📷: Mathias Appel

What's for dinner? 12 times the lethal dose of cyanide! Bamboo lemurs have a crazy diet!

Fork-marked lemurs and African needle-clawed galagos are a classic case of convergent evolution—they’re both small, nocturnal, primates with strikingly similar looks and lifestyles. The twist? They live about 3,000 miles apart and aren’t closely related 📷: Guilherme Siniciato Terra Garbino

Tongue Out Tuesday! 🌿 When your lunch is mostly leaves, you need some serious mouth power. This indri is caught mid-munch high in the trees, tongue out and working overtime to tackle a leafy meal. 📷: @GregTaylorPho Taylor Photography www.instagram.com/gregtaylorph...

Happy New Year from the Lemur Conservation Network! 📷: Mathias Appel

#SundaysAreForSnuggles This mom and baby Verreaux’s sifaka are serving peak cuddle goals. Sifaka moms invest a lot in their babies—timing births to when conditions are just right and balancing the energy it takes to raise a youngster in Madagascar’s unpredictable environment. 📷: William Stephens

#FunFactFriday ! Born at the start of the wet season, red-bellied lemur infants spend their first weeks clinging tight to mom—then take their first wobbly steps around week five. Both mom and dad carry the baby (though dads do most of the hauling as the little ones grow). 📷: Mathias Appel

Happy Wednesday! ✨ Did you know lemurs have their own natural pest-control routine… that also gets them a bit intoxicated? In this video, these clever pros grab millipedes, rub them all over their fur to ward off insects, getting a bit blissed-out in the process.

Rather than carrying their infants like most lemurs do, red-ruffed lemurs stash their babies in carefully built nests while they search for food. Want to help protect red-ruffed lemurs like this one? Donate here: conservationallies.org/partners/imp... 📷: Mathias Appel
