American sportive lemur (SciiFii)

The American sportive lemur (Allolepilemur floridanus) is a species of Adapiforme strepsirrhine primate, despite its name, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, forests, swamps, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American bamboo lemur greatly resembles true sportive lemurs (Lepilemur) of the island of Madagascar in size, build, locomotion, vocalization, and behavior, most likely to simulate convergent evolution. The American sportive lemur is a medium-sized strepsirrhine primate, with a total length of about 58 to 27 centimeters (23 to 11 inches), of which 32 to 33 centimeters (12.6 to 13 inches) are tail, and weighs about 875 grams (1.9 lbs). The American sportive lemur is mainly herbivorous and its diet consists predominantly of leaves, but can also feed on seeds, fruits, and insects. American sportive lemurs are strictly nocturnal and predominantly arboreal, moving among the trees with long jumps powered by their strong hind legs. On the ground, they hop similarly to the kangaroo. During the day they hide in leafy covering or tree hollows. Sportive lemurs are mostly solitary and defend their territory against same sex intruders. The territories of males and females can overlap. Birthing happens between March and June after a gestation of 120 to 150 days, and is usually of a single young or twins which are often reared in a nest in a tree hollow. At about four months the juveniles are weaned but remain with their mother up to an age of one year. At about 16 months they are fully mature, and live to be about fifteen years old. The conservation status of the American sportive lemur is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American sportive lemur's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
