Many of these colourful pictures are by the renowned wildlife artist J.G.Keulemans, circa 1894. While most of us are familiar with a variety of monkeys, lemurs may be less well known. Lemurs are prosimians, or primative primates. Lemurs are found naturally only on the island of Madagascar, and some smaller surrounding islands, including the Comoros (where it is likely they were introduced by humans). While they were displaced in the rest of the world by monkeys, apes, and other primates, the lemurs were safe from competition on Madagascar and differentiated into a number of species. Fifty-two images of monkeys and lemurs are presented in this screensaver.
