They are native only to the island of Madagascar. Most existing lemurs are small, have a pointed snout, large eyes, and a long tail. They chiefly live in trees (arboreal) and are active at night (nocturnal). Lemurs share resemblance with other primates but evolved independently from monkeys and apes.
In Europe and Asia, temperate grasslands are known as steppes. In South, America grasslands are known as pampas. In North America temperate grasslands are known as prairies.
