Whoah, that is one orange bird!!! This is a pygmy kingfisher. It lives in Madagascar in forests full of #lemurs. We love it. 😍 📷 Lynne Venart

This white-footed sportive #lemur in Berenty, Madagascar sits in spiky trees during the day. Doesn't look too comfy, but who are we to judge? This #primate is nocturnal, so this is naptime. 📷 Lynne Venart

We could all use a pick me up. So, we'll be posting photos of cute lemurs! Follow us for a feed sprinkled with fluffy faces, derpy goofballs, and beautiful creatures from Madagascar. 💚 We think this diademed sifaka in Andasibe-Mantadia National Park is saying "hang in there!". 📷 Lynne Venart

We love lemur art and lemur artists! Have you created art featuring lemurs? We would love to see it and share it! ♥️🇲🇬

Madagascar has some of the coolest creatures !

#repost @lemurnetwork.bsky.social Did you know #Bamboolemurs consume cyanide at levels that could be lethal to humans! 🌿 Fortunately, these toxins don’t harm them. Much like pandas, bamboo lemurs have evolved to neutralize cyanide, allowing them to safely enjoy a diet of bamboo

Today is the last day to double your impact for lemurs! Donate to 14 Malagasy conservation orgs in Madagascar through Conservation Allies and they will match your donation! Today only!!! (Dec 31) conservationallies.org/partners/ 📸 Lynne Venart

Delightful photo of Verreauxs sifakas gathering together on tree branches in Madagascar ♥️🇲🇬 😊

Eastern Lesser Bamboo Lemur is also known as Grey Bamboo Lemur. They live in forests with bamboo, with one population in the west and another in the east of Madagascar. #madagascar #nature #mammal #mammals #lemur #easternlesserbamboolemur #greybamboolemur

#DidYouKnow: Ring-tailed lemurs don’t just relax in trees—they help grow them! 🌱 By spreading seeds from the fruits they eat, they play a key role in reforesting Madagascar and maintaining the island's rich biodiversity. 💚

Thailand is sending almost 1,000 highly endangered tortoises and lemurs home to Madagascar in a landmark victory against animal trafficking. The repatriation is the largest ever between the two countries, according to Thai officials.

Tongue out!

Let's try these starter packs out! Looks like they're getting pretty niche, so I thought I'd a collection of people & orgs who have worked with lemurs. Please lmk folks I should add, I'm especially excited to have more Malagasy colleagues joining this app. Happy leaping! go.bsky.app/MEq7yNB

How can we start a lemur feed or lemur starter pack? Or primates? We are new to Bluesky and not understanding all the things. Begging for help with this photo of a Verreaux's sifaka chomping down on leaves in Berenty Reserve as currency. TIA! 📷: Lynne Venart

Great animation about the origin of lemurs! 👇

LEMURS WE GOT LEMURS. Dr. Lydia Greene of Duke Lemur Center talks GIANT eyes, tree-hopping, Madagascar, ring tails, sashays, aye-ayes, etymology, conservation + a BONKERS origin story. Instant classic. Pass it on. www.alieward.com/ologies/lemu...

So excited to see people across BlueSky celebrated World Lemur Day last month by posting photos! Sorry we are a little late to the party ;)

We like fossas too. Shhhh ... don't tell the mouse lemurs.
