Fossas: These carnivorous mammals are native to Madagascar and are the top predators of lemurs. They are known for their powerful jaws and sharp teeth, and they can take down even the largest lemurs.
Birds of prey: Various birds of prey, such as hawks, eagles, and owls, hunt lemurs in their natural habitats. These birds have sharp talons and beaks that they use to capture and kill their prey.
Snakes: Several species of snakes, including boa constrictors and pythons, prey on lemurs. These snakes wrap themselves around their victims and suffocate them.
Domestic animals: Introduced domestic animals, such as cats and dogs, can also be predators of lemurs. These animals may chase and kill lemurs for food or sport.
Humans: Humans are one of the biggest threats to lemurs. Lemurs are hunted for their fur, meat, and medicinal properties. Habitat destruction, caused by human activities such as logging, mining, and agriculture, is also a major threat to lemurs and their survival.
