Mahgarita (SciiFii)

The American band-tailed lemur (Mahgarita lemuroides), also known as the American false ring-tailed lemur, is a species of lemur-like adapiform strepsirrhine primate, despite its name, that originally lived from late Middle Eocene in what is now Texas as an extinct species, Mahgarita stevensi, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern rainforests, forests, swamps, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American band-tailed lemur is a rather large adapiform that can grow to be about 53 centimeters in body length. This primate typically lives in small, matriarchal groups of 2–16 individuals, but group sizes of up to 32 have been recorded. Its diet consists primarily of fruit, nectar, and pollen. Leaves and seeds may be eaten when fruit becomes scarce. American band-tailed lemurs will sometimes form large groups during the wet season when food is plentiful. They will all find one food source and forage together as a group. During the dry season they will often separate and find food on their own when fruits are scarce . This is unusual behavior as most other diurnal North American primates will stay together and forage in large groups even during the dry season. The American band-tailed lemurs, like the ruffed lemurs of Madagascar, may be found in monogamous pairs or in small, organized groups. Individuals out in the forest communicate through loud booming calls, which can be heard over considerable distances. The conservation status of the American band-tailed lemur is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American band-tailed lemur's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
