Lemurs!! 
Latin name- Lemur Atta
These fellas live in the forest of Madagascar! 
They are awake in the morning and asleep at night.
Lemurs don't have prehensile tails (meaning that they can't hang off of trees with their tails). But instead of that they have a keen sense of smell, hearing, and sight! After the cold night in the damp tree they get on a rock with their pals. They do this because after that cool night they want to soak in the warmth of the sun. 
They are social animals so they have a pack with 15-20 lemurs in it. Male lemurs usually don't stay with the same pack. But the female are together at all times. Playing, seeking food, eat, sleep, sun rest, and fight other troops off of their land. They can stop the other lemurs from getting on their land, but they can't stop the people. The people are cutting down trees and other wild life to make farms and other things! This is make the lemur have only a very small amount of land to live in. Soon if the people keep it up they are going to make the lemurs all die out! :(
Well, any way here is my drawing of a mamma and a baby lemur together! Hope you like it!
