Our tiny cousins


Did you know …

That lemurs hate losing? It’s true. Beat a lemur in a game of checkers, win over its girlfriend, or force it to the brink of extinction; any losing scenario will drive a lemur crazy. Whether it’s you or the lemur, something is going to die when a lemur loses.

Bonus fact: If you don’t want to be killed by a lemur (that is, if you’re willing to kill a lemur, because it will be you or the lemur) try using a baseball bat. A lemur really can’t stand up to a good batting. It’s not exactly a superman/kryptonite situation, because there’s nothing particularly special about a bat—a nice heavy stick would work as well—it’s just that lemurs aren’t evolutionarily equipped to batfight. Come to think of it, lemurs aren’t well equipped to win any kind of fight with a person. So if you lose much more than an eye in a lemur fight, I think you probably had it coming.
