What the Lemur and Globe Page Depicts

The large lemur sits on the ground with its body held upright and its head facing slightly forward. A globe mounted on a stand is positioned to the animal’s left, displaying the outlines of continents. Dark markings surround the lemur’s eyes and nose, while the open background leaves the animal and globe as the scene’s central subjects.

Interesting Facts About Lemurs and World Geography

Wild lemurs are native to Madagascar, a large island in the Indian Ocean off Africa’s southeastern coast. A globe represents Earth as a sphere, so it shows the relative positions of continents and oceans with less distortion than a flat world map.

Natural Colors of the Lemur and Globe

  • Lemur fur: gray, brown, reddish brown, black, white, or a combination depending on the species
  • Lemur eye markings: commonly black or very dark brown in many familiar species
  • Lemur eyes: often amber, orange, yellow, or brown
  • Continents on a classroom globe: commonly green, tan, yellow, or other contrasting map colors
  • Globe stand: often black, silver, gold, brown, or dark blue
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Where do lemurs live in the wild?
Lemurs naturally occur on Madagascar and the nearby Comoro Islands. Different species occupy rainforests, dry forests, scrublands, and other habitats across the region.
Why do some lemurs have long tails?
A long tail can help a lemur balance while climbing and leaping among branches. Unlike some monkeys, lemurs do not use their tails to grasp and hang from objects.
Why are continents shaped differently on some maps?
Turning a round planet into a flat map stretches or compresses parts of the surface. A globe avoids much of that distortion because its shape resembles Earth.
