My Favourite Science Topic. By: Claire MacKay-Dietrich. My favourite topic was when we learnt about Madagascar and we became experts on certain species. I did mammals of Madagascar. This is the ring-tailed lemur I had to research on how lemurs are different from other primates. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

This is the ring-tailed lemur I had to research on how lemurs are different from other primates.

I enjoyed this unit because I got to research on animals I didn’t know much about and I had lots of fun making the Powerpoint which I made entirely by myself.

I also researched on why the kinkajou is not a lemur, the loris, bushbabies, the potto, tarsiers and the angwantibo.
The kinkajou is not a lemur!

Facts!O The four ridges on the bush baby's

because they are nocturnal and they howl really loud!

O Prosimian means “before monkey”!O Prosimians have been around for 65
million years!O Red-ruffed lemurs are extremely
vocal, early explorers mistook the sounds for groans/wails of the dead!
O Kinkajou genetic studies show it belongs to the family Procyonidae (Raccoon Family)!
