And the Brown Lemur occurs mainly on the north-west coast. Most found in forested areas with fruiting trees. Rainforests and secondary forests. Gentle Lemurs specialise in bamboo forests and reed marshes. Like other primates, some lemurs may occasionally eat insects, eggs and small birds.
Smaller lemurs eat more insects.
Different lemurs also specialise in different food. The Gentle Lemurs eat bamboo and other tough vegetation and have serrated teeth to deal with this food. Other lemurs eat a wider range of food. Most large lemurs are diurnal, being more active in the early morning or evening rather than at midday. Smaller ones are nocturnal.
