Palaeopropithecus (SciiFii)

The sloth lemur (Palaeopropithecus megalonyx) is a species of large long-limbed lemur found in some of the rainforests of eastern Madagascar. It was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to eastern Malagasy rainforests, where the original sloth lemur species once lived in. Due to its long limbs, it is unable to move quickly on the ground or even jump, however, the long limbs makes it easier for the sloth lemur to climb and reach for branches to swing, as well as to reach out for food. It is one of the largest known species of lemur, growing to be about 3.5 feet long and weigh between 100-120 pounds, larger than an indri, which it is sometimes mistaken for due to its black-and-white fur coloration. It is a herbivore and mainly feeds on leaves, fruits, and soft nuts. Unlike most other large lemurs, it is a solitary animal due to its lifestyle, but can look for mates during breeding seasons. The conservation status of the sloth lemur is Vulnerable due to habitat loss, however, the conservationists are attempting to save them from their second extinction, by protecting their natural habitats and through captive breeding.
