Not unlike birds’ habit of anting, lemurs will annoy certain species of millipedes into deploying their defensive secretions. We’re not entirely positive the lemurs enjoy getting fucked up on the toxins; it may just be a relatively low-cost side-effect of reducing their parasite load. Also like birds, captive lemurs have been observed substituting cigarette butts for insect-based repellants.

This ringtailed lemur found some berries. Hakuna Matata!

“I adore lemurs. They’re extremely gentle, well-mannered, pretty, and yet great fun. I should have married one.”
You, me, and the baby makes three! How cute is this ring-tailed lemur family?
