Native to Madagascar, they live for approximately 10 to15 years and grow to be about 18 inches long and approximately four to nine pounds. Their diet consists of fruit, vegetables, meal worms, monkey chow and monkey biscuits. Lemurs are most active at dawn and dusk and their large eyes help them see better.
Lemurs communicate by smell from special scent glands found all over their bodies.
Erythrcecbus Patas Annie, Mabel and Juliette Our Patas Monkeys are playful and active. Because they communicate with one another through gestures and mimicry, they are favorites for watching. Found native in North central Africa, Patas Monkeys live in bands of between 9 to 30 individuals. They stand about two to two and one-half feet tall and weigh around 17 pounds when full grown. Their average life expectancy is about 21 years in captivity.
