Black Lemur (scientific name: Eulemur macaco) is mainly found in the humid tropical rainforests of Madagascar, and some prefer to live in dry areas. They live in groups of 7-10, led by older females. They have a sense of territory and are aggressive. They mainly feed on fruits, pollen, and nectar. When food is scarce, they also eat leaves and insects. They help pollinate plants to a certain extent.
The black lemur is polygamous. Females reproduce in June and July each year, giving birth to 1-2 cubs per litter, with a gestation period of 120-129 days. The cubs are weaned after 5-6 months, sexually mature at 2 years old, and have a lifespan of 15-30 years.
