スミソニアン国立動物園さんのインスタグラム動画 - (スミソニアン国立動物園Instagram)「🍂🍇 There’s no better time to *fall* in love with prosimians than World Lemur Day! Lemurs are very sensory-oriented, so primate keepers gave our black-and-white lemurs (Aloke + Wiley) and ring-tailed lemurs (Tom Petty, Southside Johnny, Bowie + Birch) some leaf piles to explore. They had a blast smelling the foliage and foraging for one of their favorite treats: raisins! . . . 🏝️ Lemurs belong to the suborder prosimians—the most diverse group of primates! All lemur species are endemic to Madagascar; they exist nowhere else on Earth. Unfortunately, they are also the most threatened group of mammals on the planet; 95% of lemur species face extinction. . . . 🪓🌳 One of the major causes of lemur population declines in Madagascar is deforestation. More than 50% of Madagascar’s forests have been destroyed in the last 50 years due to slash and burn agriculture, illegal trade in exotic hardwoods like ebony and rosewood, and coal and gem mining. . . . 👍 The good news is that you can help lemurs! Be an informed consumer: only purchase products from Madagascar that are certified as sustainably sourced. . . . #WorldLemurDay」10月31日 0時15分
