Fun Facts about Lemurs

Em is doing a school report on Lemurs. We learned two interesting things about Lemurs

Fact #1: When a female finds a suitable tree, she performs a handstand and rubs her rear end against the bark.
Emily's Response: Hysterical laughter when she figured out that "rear end"="butt"

Fact #2: Male lemurs can draw their tales between their wrists, covering the tails with scent. Then, by jerking their tails ove rtheir heads like catapults, the males are able to propel long distance stink bombs at their opponents.
Emily's response: Fell over laughing.
