More info: Lemurs belong to a group called prosimian primates, defined as all primates that are neither monkeys nor apes. Prosimians have many unique features, including wet noses and a keen sense of smell. Lemurs only live in one place in the world, Madagascar and the nearby Comoro Islands, off the coast of Mozambique in Africa.
Mating in the lemur world is a battle of the strongest scent. Male lemurs spray their tails with secretions and wave them at each other. The male with the smelliest tail wins dominance.
