<div class="tree_txt_unlinked"><p>Once a diverse genus, taxonomic studies now limit <em>Lemur</em> to only ring-tailed lemurs including <em>L. catta</em>.
Found only in Madagascar, lemurs are usually diurnal, move
quadrupedally, and spend more time on the ground than other lemur
genera. Diets vary by region, but are based on fruits and leaves.
Members of <em>Lemur</em> are typically mid-range in body size.</p>
