Description
The Black Lemur Lady by Amy E. Fraser. This is an expressive lemur portrait in shades of black, white, purple, brown and gold with intense orange eyes complimented with a lilac purple textural background.
The black lemur (Eulemur macaco) is a species of lemur from the family Lemuridae. Like all lemurs, it is endemic to Madagascar. Originally, the species was thought to have two subspecies, Eulemur macaco macaco and Eulemur macaco flavifrons, both of which were elevated to species status by Mittermeier et al. in 2008 to Eulemur macaco and Eulemur flavifrons respectively. The most startling difference between the two species is the eye color; Eulemur flavifrons, the blue-eyed black lemur, has blue eyes, while Eulemur macaco, the black lemur, has brown or orange eyes, and also has ear tufts. The black lemur is between 90 and 110 centimeters in length, of which 51–65 centimeters are tail. Weight typically ranges between 1.8 and 2.0 kilograms. The black lemur displays sexual dimorphism in coloration. Males have black or dark chocolate fur, while the females' fur is of a lighter brown color, generally medium brown, chestnut brown or even orange-brown as depicted in this portrait “The Black Lemur Lady”. Males have large black ear tufts, while females have large white ear tufts.
