Lemuridae is a family of strepsirrhine primates native to Madagascar and the Comoros. They are represented by the Lemuriformes in Madagascar with one of the highest concentration of the lemurs.

Lemurs are found only in Mada­gas­car and the Co­moro Is­lands. There, how­ever, they are a di­verse group of 10 species placed in 4 gen­era. These small to medium-sized pri­mates are her­biv­o­rous or om­niv­o­rous, ar­bo­real, and di­ur­nal. Mem­bers of the group vary con­sid­er­ably, how­ever, in diet and habit.

A Look at Lemuridae. The Lemuridae family is one of the better-known lemur families. The members of this family are all larger, diurnal (day-time active) lemurs and are divided into five smaller genus groups: Eulemur, Varecia, Hapalemur, Prolemur, and Lemur.

Lemuridae. The family of true or typical lemurs contains the largest lemurs and has 19 species in five genera. They are mainly arboreal and found in Madagascar.

Lemurs are found only in Madagascar and the Comoro Islands. There, however, they are a diverse group of 10 species placed in 4 genera. These small to medium-sized primates are herbivorous or omnivorous, arboreal, and diurnal. Members of the group vary considerably, however, in diet and habit.
