We just learned about the Sportive Lemur.
Another type of lemur is the Blue-Eyed Black Lemur.
Just like all other lemurs these primates all live in Madagascar, but because of people cutting down the trees where they live there are only about 1,000 left in the wild.
These primates are very special because they are one of only a few primates (including humans!) that has blue eyes.
They also have different colored fur for male and female lemurs, with the males having black fur and the females having either grey or red fur.
Blue-Eyed Black Lemurs grow to be about 45 centimeters long, and weigh about 2 kilograms.
