 Mouse Lemurs
The Latin word lemures means “ghost.” Malagasy
people have traditionally associated these primates
with spirits because they are active at night, and
perhaps because of their eerie, large-eyed stare

There are more than 20 species of mouse

lemurs, and several have been identified only
in recent years.
