Record 8 2006-11-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mammals
DEF

A small, tree-dwelling primate that belongs to the group called prosimians.

CONT

Lemurs make up the infraorder Lemuriformes and are members of a group of primates known as prosimians. ... Lemurs are found naturally only on the island of Madagascar and some smaller surrounding islands, including the Comoros (where they were likely introduced by humans). ... Most lemurs are listed as endangered or threatened species.

OBS

The term "lemur" is derived from the Latin word lemures, meaning "spirits of the night" or "ghosts". This likely refers to their large, reflective eyes and the wailing cries of some species (the Indri in particular). The term is generically used for the members of the four lemuriform families, but it is also the genus of one of the lemuriform species, the Ring-tailed Lemur (Lemur catta).

OBS

lemur: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mammifères
DEF

Primate principalement nocturne vivant dans les arbres, qui ne vit que dans les îles de Madagascar et de Comoro.

OBS

OBS

Le mot «lémurien» vient du latin «lemures» qui signifie «esprits de la nuit». On les aurait appelés ainsi à cause des espèces nocturnes dont les yeux brillent dans le noir.

OBS

lémurien : terme en usage à Ressources naturelles Canada - Secteur des sciences de la Terre.
