Lemur
Lemur in Latin means ‘ghost’ or ‘spirits of the night’. Perhaps there is some truth in this translation as lemurs are active at night & their eyes do light up.
They have a reflective layer over their retina which causes their eyes to shine at night. Lemurs only live on Madagascar – they are endangered due to deforestation & hunting. Most lemurs live in trees. Their main predators are hawks & eagles. Their tails are used to communicate with each other.
