Endangerd or Not Most lemurs just stay under rocks or bushes to stay out of trouble.Only the **indri** and **sifika** are endangerd that is why they have very strong hind legs so they can swing from tree to tree also because they are being killed by other big animals like the lions and puma's.All the other lemurs are not endangerd.Some lemurs live under rocks and in bushes even if there not endangerd.
