Résumé | The brown lemur Eulemur fulvus is the most widespread diurnal lemur species in Madagascar; it has six subspecies [1, 2]. All subspecies are medium-sized and live in groups. They feed predominantly on fruit, leaves, flowers and sap [1-3]. Generally, the diurnal prosimian species are thought to be plant eaters [4]. Some authors have reported that they also eat small vertebrates in captivity [4, 5]. In the wild, however, only one observation of meat-eating behaviour has ever been reported, that is the red-fronted lemur E. fulvus rufus preying on an infant of the ring-tailed lemur Lemur catta [6]. This note reports the first observation of a diurnal lemur, the common brown lemur Eulemur fulvus fulvus, preying on a bird nestling in the wild. |
