creepy creature

 i would like to introduce youto the long fingered lemur

Appearance

The long fingered lemur is a very small animal.  They are about as small as a baby mouse  but can grow as big as a cup.  Its tongue goes bright purple when it sees a predator.  That means that it is going to attack, but if its tongue is pink it means they are friendly.  Its enormous bony fingers are used to climb trees and vines. 

Habitat

This strange and weird creature lives in the South American rainforest.  It’s usually found in trees but sometimes found in burrows on the rainforest floor. 

Predators/Enemies

The lemur’s predators are eagles, crocodiles and snakes but his main enemy is the hairy bush hog.  The hairy hog is the most scary thing you have ever seen!

Diet

This small creature eats tadpoles, butterflies and puffer fish.  If you were wondering how they eat the puffer fish, it’s by stabbing them with their enormous fingers.  They go straight through them.

Behaviour

The long fingered lemur loves to just lounge in vines and trees.  They’re friends with all different kinds of monkeys.  This creature only gets off its butt when he is hungry.

Family

This species descends from monkeys and lemurs and are a cross breed between them. They will die when they start shaking really fast, then they just drop dead!  That happens       because thousands of years ago one got so scared that it just started shaking and dropped dead.

I hope you’ve learnt lots of things about this strange thing.
