Greater bamboo lemur (Hapalemur simus)
As the name suggests, the greater bamboo lemur is the largest of the bamboo lemurs at over five pounds and – as you already know – can be found in Madagascar. Moreover, you can recognize them due to their greyish brown fur and white ear tufts.
The greater bamboo lemur feeds almost exclusively on the bamboo species of Cathariostachys madagascariensis, preferring the shoots but also eating the pith and leaves. Unfortunately, this species of lemur is one of the world’s most critically endangered creatures.
