RE: A new species of lemur has been discovered on the Southeastern Madagascar, making it the 133rd lemur species

Hey valth,

I have always had an interest in Lemurs because of how important they are in showing paths of evolution. Away from predators on mainland Africa, they’ve been able to evolve in a way completely different to their primate cousins.

It’s similar to here in Australia, with Tasmanian wildlife such as the Tasmanian Devil being able to evolve and thrive away from predators (Dingos) found on the mainland.

Thanks for sharing mate, your blog is really interesting to read and follow. Hopefully see you around!

Yeah, it is really cool to see how some animal groups evolve when they are "alone" on large islands. There are some cool examples of this all around the world, such as the ones you mention on Tasmania (and in Australia in general). I'm glad you like me blog! Thanks for following and leaving a good comment, @forexbrokr.
