For the #SciArtSeptember prompt “simian” I made a new edition to my ongoing series of animals with fabulous collective nouns. It’s A Conspiracy of Lemurs. These ring-tailed lemurs definitely appear to be up to something. Caught in the act of scheming. The word “lemurs” mimics their tails, of course!

The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is a wet-nosed primate, endemic to Madagascar. 🧵1/n

Ring-tailed lemurs are part of the subcategory of primitive primates, referred to as prosimians. They have some special features that set them apart from other primate species, including large ears, a pointed snout, and a lack of prehensile tail!
