Long ago, there was a lemur...
and the lemur will survive...

Madagascar is the only place on earth where you can see lemurs living in their natural habitat. It is also the land where the lemurs come from and some of those lemurs will not be able to survive if they are taken away out of the forest.
The largest lemur species that you can expect to see in Madagascar is the Indri Indri which is famous for its loud haunting call coming out of a mist shrouded rainforest in the east of Madagascar. As for the smallest lemur species, you can find the Microcebus, known as the Mouse lemur, with different species in any types of forest as long as you are in the island. The Microcebus is also the smallest primate in the world.
Apart from Indri Indri and the Microcebus, other lemur species are also found in the forest of Madagascar such as the Sifakas (lemurs which are well-known for bouncing bipedally across open spaces), Brown lemurs (considered to the True Lemurs and the most common lemurs in Madagascar including the ring-tailed lemurs), Bamboo lemurs (one of the most threatened species of lemurs in Madagascar because of their natural habitat damage), and the Aye Aye (lemurs which are thought to bring bad luck to those who encounter them according to the local belief).
Lemur experience is what the Madagascar forests can offer to the nature lovers as those animals long for a special care and attention.
