Lemurs

Ringed tail wraps ... Long legs leap ... Meet the lemur! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, this middle-grade nonfiction book treats researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these endangered forest mammals. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the primates' relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a lemur story from Madagascar adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
