Cantius (SciiFii)

The Euro-American black-backed lemur (Cantius alba) is a species of lemur-like adapiform strepsirrhine primate, despite its name, that originally lived during the Early Eocene in what is now North America and Europe as an extinct species of Cantius and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern tropical, subtropical, and temperate rainforests, forests, swamps, and open woodlands across the North America and Eurasia to help boost biodiversity. The Euro-American black-backed lemur has a total length of 101 centimeters (40 inches), including 51 centimeter (20 inch) of tail, and the average weight is usually about 3 kilograms (6.6 lbs). The Euro-American black-backed lemur has a coat of light grey fur with, as its name suggests, a black back and tail tip. The The Euro-American black-backed lemur is nocturnal and relies on arboreal quadrupedal locomotion, primarily running and leaping. This locomotor pattern comparable to that of true lemurs (Lemuroidea), which has fostered the hypothesis that strepsirrhine adapiforms have a close phylogenetic affinity to true lemurs. As primarily a frugivore, the diet within this species consists mainly of fruit, although nectar and flowers are also favored, followed by leaves and some seeds. The Euro-American black-backed lemur has a complex social structure and is known for its loud, raucous calls, most similar to ruffed lemurs of the island of Madagascar. It is unusual in that it exhibits several reproductive traits typically found in average-sized, nocturnal adapiforms, such as a short gestation period, large litters and rapid maturation. In captivity, they can live up to 36 years. The conservation status of the Euro-American black-backed lemur is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the Euro-American black-backed lemur's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
