Did you know that the lemurs name comes from the Latin word - TopicsExpress



          

Did you know that the lemurs name comes from the Latin word lemures which means ghost or spirit? The name was actually originally given to another animal, the slender loris, but was eventually limited to just specific primates from Madagascar. Carl Linnaeus, who gave lemurs their name, said he did so because of their slow movement & because they are nocturnal (which means they are most active at night). Do you have any animals youd like to know more about? Let us know! :)
