Aquatic Lemur

Aquatic lemurs (Promonsamiidae) are a family of lemurs native throughout Africa, Eurasia, Australia, New Zealand, and even Antarctica. It is unknown on what group of lemurs they may have evolved from since this group recently evolved around 10 million years ago, but may have first evolved somewhere in either Madagascar or mainland Africa. Most species are omnivores, but the truly aquatic species are fully carnivorous and mainly feed on fish and crustaceans. The conservation status of all known species of aquatic lemurs is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, their wide natural (and expanding range), their fast and frequent reproduction in comparison with similarly-built small marine mammals (such as sea otters), and their tolerance to most human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
