Short-tailed ground lemur (SciiFii)

The short-tailed ground lemur (Cynolemur brachyurus) is a species of lemur that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, and shrublands across Madagascar to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relatives of the short-tailed ground lemur are ruffed lemurs (Varecia). The short-tailed ground lemur is similar to mainland baboons in ecology and behaviour, being a social animals that lives in large troops. Males can grow to about 84 centimeters, females to about 60 centimeters. They are omnivorous, with a preference for fruits; they also eat other plants, seeds, grasses, bulbs, leaves, bark, blossoms and fungi, as well as worms, grubs, insects, spiders, birds, rodents and small mammals. Short-tailed ground lemurs are highly opportunistic feeders and will eat virtually any food they can find. The average lifespan of the short-tailed ground lemur in the wild is roughly 15–20 years; some may live up to 30 years. The conservation status of the short-tailed ground lemur is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the short-tailed ground lemur's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
