Greater Bamboo Lemur

These funky looking animals are also known as the broad-nosed bamboo lemur. It's the largest bamboo lemur and weighs over five pounds. They eat bamboo most of the time. However, they do eat fungi, flowers and fruit.

The greater bamboo lemur can only be found in the southeastern part of Madagascar and usually live in groups of 28. So why are these lemur's endangered? Their population is slowly dying out due to farming, mining, logging and hunting.

These large lemurs are listed in The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates. That's pretty bad!
