**WARNING** This will destroy your feels.
A mother Lemur must decide between her life and her baby’s. Again, Please explain to me how people still believe animals do not have feeling and do not make choices. Animals do not simply act on instinct.

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.
