Apart from the scorpions, Madagascar has no beast which are dangerous to humans. Madagascar is a sanctuary for Lemurs . Introduced long ago by the island's first inhabitants, Lemurs are now only found on Madagascar and on the Comoro Islands. 30 species of lemur are currently recognized. It is the most familiar because it manages well in captivity.
Lemurs resemble advanced primates chiefly in the structure of their hands and feet.
They feed primarily on insects, leaves, fruit, bird's eggs, birds and reptiles. Some lemurs are nocturnal, others are active at dusk and a few are diurnal. So, some species are in danger and at extreme risk of extinction.
