00:00Good evening to the beautiful people
00:03Today we will talk about a creature that when you first see it, you feel like it came out of a cartoon.
00:08Big eyes that are longer than his body and he looks like he's in a deep sleep
00:12Get ready because today we're going to talk about lemurs.
00:15The creature really looks scary, but his personality is funny
00:20Lemurs appeared on Earth more than 60 million years ago.
00:24I mean, before the dinosaurs say peace be upon you
00:27Lemurs are originally from Africa.
00:30But when the island of Madagascar separated from Africa
00:34They isolated themselves there and developed in their own way.
00:37Lemurs are creatures that scientists call
00:40This is a term they use to describe creatures that are older than the creatures we know today.
00:46It means the ancestors of the Aroud are simpler in construction than them.
00:50Madagascar is not an ordinary island, it is a paradise on earth.
00:54You probably won't find lemurs anywhere else.
00:58About 90% of lemur species are found only in Madagascar.
01:03They lived there without competition.
01:05So they remained the kings of the jungle
01:07Until man appeared
01:08And he started to ruin the world a little
01:10We will talk about this in a little while.
01:13The cute vegetarian lemur loves fruits like crazy, especially bananas and mangoes.
01:19It also eats leaves, flowers, and sometimes some insects when it is hungry or bored.
01:26It is not a predator at all, nor does it hunt. On the contrary, it is peaceful and its mind is on easy food.
01:31Lemurs are social by nature.
01:34It lives in groups called troop.
01:36This is a term they use to describe any group of animals that live together.
01:41Especially smart animals like the arod
01:44But the surprise here is that the female is the one who controls.
01:47Their society is called Metriarchy.
01:50This means that the woman is the president.
01:52The one who leads the group and makes decisions
01:55If there is food, she will eat first.
01:58The rest is waiting
01:59The male kisses his hand, face and back if he takes a bite
02:02During the mating season, males begin a very strange competition.
02:06It is not by humility or voice
02:09Don't be in a war of scents
02:11Every male has a gland in his body that produces odor.
02:15He scratches it on his tail and keeps waving it in front of the others.
02:18The one with the strongest smell wins.
02:20This is really not a joke
02:22The female becomes pregnant after mating.
02:25One or two are born
02:26And for three hours, the little one is holding her stomach or back.
02:30Or her back until it starts moving on its own
02:33The one who is more sees the darkness very well
02:35It's like he has a flashlight on his head
02:37He uses his long tail as a balance tool when jumping from one tree to another.
02:43There are types of it that sing
02:44They act like they are lions in the jungle.
02:48There is another type that stays in the sun for a period of time.
02:51It's like he's doing yoga.
02:52Or it is charged by the tonga
02:54Unfortunately, the one who is behind is not strong
02:56This makes it easy prey for birds such as eagles, snakes and wild cats.
03:01But the biggest enemy is always man
03:04Due to logging and hunting
03:06The one that is more threatened with extinction
03:09It might disappear from the ground if you don't take care of it.
03:12A question that is frequently asked by some people.
03:16Is it okay for me to raise a wild animal like the one in Mor at home?
03:20The answer is no
03:22Those who are not in need of a large space, trees, and a group to move with.
03:26He might bite or act strangely because he is not used to people.
03:30And in many countries, raising it is legally prohibited.
03:34To preserve it in its natural environment
03:36The moor can live from 15 to 20 years in the wild.
03:41Even in a garden or reserve, it can live up to 25 years.
03:44He has a very sweet intelligence.
03:46He knows places and gets to know people.
03:49And he understands simple signals
03:51The one who is behind is not only beautiful
03:53This is a masterpiece of nature.
03:55If it disappears, we will lose an important part of the balance of life on our planet.
03:59Think with me, what is the other creature that has big eyes and a long tail?
04:03His voice is almost repetitive
04:04Almost none
04:06That's why we have to keep it
04:08We spread awareness about it
