Deep in the forests of Madagascar where it's nothing but dry. Hidden in the trees lives the Siberian dwarf lemure mostly well known as the fat-tailed dwarf lemur. Given the name because of all the fat that is stored in their tail during the cold seasons when hibernating.The tiny lemure on average grows as big as 120-270 G.

Far away from the dwarf lemur lives the big and furry Golden-headed lion tamarin that lives in the deep, hot, and big rainforest of Brazil. The tamarin spends most of its day consisting of sleeping and relaxing on a giant tree.When feeling well rested the Tamarin jumps from tree to tree like the famous Tarzan and searches for their favorite foods. Their diets consist of fruits, flowers, insects, and etc. which is well known as an frugivore.

The Siberian dwarf lemur running across the trees instead of jumping due to the fact that jumping is not in their favor. The Lemur feeds on various flowers that surround them and insects that unfortunately are at the wrong place at the wrong time, the lemur ending their journey. Fattening up its tail so it can stay nice and cozy when the cold temperatures arrive. At the corner of its eye the lemur sees an insect crawl into a small hole of a tree branch. Desperately wanting to eat the insect the lemur races to catch it. Thankfully for the lemur it was gifted with long fingers that help them to reach their food, thanks to that the lemur was able to reach the bug feeling like a winner.

The tamarin grasping on to the trees with its large claws allowing them to hold on to trees. Looking at a possible intruder of the monkey’s territory the tamarin uses its vocals to communicate to its fellow monkeys. Protecting its home it opens its mouth showing its sharp teeth looking like a threat. The animal leaves its territory, while the tamarin calms down. While eating the tamarin spots a hunter the tamarins worst threat causing them to be endangered, hunting them for zoos and so on. The tamarin in the end survived because the hunter wasn't able to find them while they hide in the thick trees.

Back to Madagascar a threat has appeared over the home of the lemur, a hawk. It circles around in the sky waiting for its food. The lemur rushes to its den but, the route home had a lot of jumping involved which the lemure can’t do. It takes a longer route. The hawk dives keeping its eye on the target. Then snatch! The lemur was eaten by the hawk because it was too slow.
The Tamarin Won! |
