NOCTURNAL LEMURS
Nick Garbutt
Because they are generally smaller than the diurnal lemurs (sometimes
very
tiny) and
active primarily after dark, the various types of nocturnal lemur are often more chal-
lenging to identify. However, night walks in Madagascar's forests are safe and very
exciting as you can never really be sure what you might discover. Two types of noc-
turnal lemur - sportive lemurs and woolly lemurs - often helpfully sleep or doze in
the open during the day so are regularly seen by tourists.
