Mammals:
* Snakes: Pythons, vipers, and other large snakes are known to prey on flying lemurs.
* Cats: Wild cats like civets and leopards can hunt flying lemurs, especially in the wild.
* Monkeys: Some monkeys, like macaques, have been observed to prey on flying lemurs.
* Birds of prey: Larger birds like owls and hawks can prey on flying lemurs.
Other Predators:
* Large Lizards: Monitor lizards and other large lizards can sometimes prey on flying lemurs.
* Humans: Sadly, humans are also a predator of flying lemurs through habitat destruction, hunting, and the pet trade.
Flying lemurs have a few defenses against predators:
* Camouflage: Their cryptic coloration helps them blend in with their surroundings.
* Gliding: Their ability to glide allows them to quickly escape from predators.
* Venom: Some species of flying lemurs have venomous spurs on their ankles, which they can use to deter predators.
However, these defenses are not always effective, and flying lemurs are still vulnerable to predation.
