RE: The fossa
Indeed! Lemurs are social animals. They are playful, cute and very intelligent, and many pet lemurs have a human owner and they are often kept in someone’s house. While wild lemurs usually live in forests and are generally scared of people. There are about 100 species of lemurs, of which about 33 species are found in Madagascar. But it is not good to keep lemurs as pets for several reasons.
they need freedom, the forest is their place, we have to keep the animals preserved and protect it
You are right 😊
First, when lemurs are fed foods by tourists, they are often given foods that they do not naturally eat in the wild. This can cause health problems for the lemurs. Second, when lemurs have become used to humans (for example, when they have been fed or touched by humans), it changes their behavior and they are less scared of people. When lemurs are no longer scared of humans, they are more likely to be hunted. Third, there is evidence that shows that in areas of Madagascar where lemurs and humans often come into contact, there is an increased risk of disease transmission among and between lemurs and humans.Finally, when lemurs are no longer scared of people, it can increase their aggressiveness towards humans. Unfortunately, many lemurs are killed after they have been aggressive towards humans. It is very hard to keep a lemur as a pet.
Yes, it is true
